SCCM/CM -Software Updates in SUG
Question
Dear All,
When we create SUG(Software Update Group) in SCCM ,we include different patches which is applicable for multiple machines (Win server 2016,2019 ,Win client 10 etc.) in one single SUG and we deploy the SUG to a device collection(contains win server 2016 and 2019)
My doubt is – will SCCM know which patch has to be installed for win server 2016 because the SUG contains patches of both win server 2016 and 2019

Generally It’s good to create different sets of update groups for Workstations & Servers.
The client agent on the machine will determine product categories automatically and only downloads the updates that are needed.
Okay, If I create a SUG which contains only server patches of win server 2008,2012 and 2016 and now when I deploy this SUG to my Server collection ,will the SCCM know which server needs which update?
