I have a scenario where I have a completely offline environment. In this environment I have an SCCM/WSUS server that I use to deploy updates to endpoints. I also have an ONLINE environment with an SCCM/WSUS server. I use my online SCCM/WSUS environment to download the updates I need for my offline environment. To move the updates from my online to offline environment I Export WSUS Metadata using the [wsusutil.exe] and I manually copy (robocopy) the wsuscontent folder from the online SCCM/WSUS. I then import the Metadata and copy the files to my offline SCCM/WSUS. This works flawlessly for Windows updates.

My issue is with Office LTSC and Edge updates. WSUS does not download these files to the WSUS content. Even if I use the WSUS console to [approve] the EDGE and Office LTSC updates and click [download], WSUS will not download these files. SCCM WILL download those files into a package, that part works just fine. I assume this is intended functionality. My issue is, I have yet to figure out how to move these updates over to my offline environment in such a way that they can be used.

How can I get office LTSC and Edge updates to my offline SCCM/WSUS and deploy them?

It sounds like you’re running into a limitation with WSUS not storing Office LTSC and Edge updates in the WSUSContent folder. Since SCCM successfully downloads them as packages, you can manually transfer these updates to your offline environment using the following approach:

  1. Export the SCCM package – In your online SCCM, navigate to the Software Update deployment package containing Office LTSC and Edge updates. Manually copy the package folder to a USB drive or other transfer medium.
  2. Import into Offline SCCM – On your offline SCCM, create a new package and point it to the transferred files. Ensure the source path is correct so SCCM can recognize and distribute them.
  3. Use the Office Deployment Tool (ODT) for Office LTSC – If needed, use ODT to manually download and deploy Office LTSC updates offline. Microsoft provides an official XML configuration for this.
  4. For Edge Updates – Microsoft offers offline Edge update packages. You can download them from the Edge Business Download Page and deploy via SCCM or Group Policy.

This method ensures your offline environment receives updates while maintaining SCCM’s functionality. Let me know if you need specific steps for any part!

Well, WSUS doesn’t actually pull down the full content for Edge or Office LTSC updates — just the metadata. The actual files only come down when SCCM pulls them during deployment.

Here’s what you can do:

  1. In your online setup, use SCCM to download the update into a package.
  2. Then use the ContentLibraryTransfer tool (part of the ConfigMgr toolkit) to export the content.
  3. Copy that over to your offline server, and use the same tool to import it, or just manually drop it into the SCCMContentLib folder.
