Enable WSUS installation in SCCM template to support SUP and patching (Install-WindowsFeature fails) #14555

Description

First off, thank you for maintaining this SCCM quickstart template — it’s a huge time-saver for getting lab environments spun up quickly.

One enhancement to consider: currently, the template’s VM does not support installing the WSUS role via Install-WindowsFeature -Name UpdateServices. This results in a source error, even when using a mounted Windows Server ISO and pointing to the correct SXS folder.

Because WSUS is a prerequisite for the Software Update Point (SUP) role in SCCM, this limits the ability to test software update workflows in the lab.

Request: If possible, it would be great to:

  • Pre-install WSUS, or
  • Configure the environment so WSUS can be installed successfully via PowerShell or Server Manager.

This would allow users to simulate full patch management scenarios and ADRs within the SCCM lab.

Thanks again for all the work that goes into maintaining and improving this template!
