Your network contains the following:
20 Hyper-V hosts
100 virtual machines
2,000 client computers
You need to recommend an update infrastructure design to meet the following requirements:
Deploy updates to all of the virtual machines and the client computers from a single console.
Generate reports that contain a list of the applied updates.
What should you recommend?
More than one answer choice may achieve the goal. Select the BEST answer.
A.
One Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) server integrated with Microsoft System
Center 2012 Configuration Manager and a second WSUS server that is integrated with
Microsoft System Center 2012 Virtual Machine Manager (VMM)
B.
One Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) server integrated with Microsoft System
Center 2012 Virtual Machine Manager (VMM)
C.
One Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) server integrated with Microsoft System
Center 2012 Configuration Manager, a second WSUS server integrated with Microsoft
System Center 2012 Virtual Machine Manager (VMM), and a third standalone WSUS server.
D.
One Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) server integrated with Microsoft System
Center 2012 Configuration Manager and Microsoft System Center 2012 Virtual Machine
Manager (VMM)
It should be D because you need SCCM to deploy updates to virtual machines. VMM deploys updates only to the hosts.
Why couldn’t you just use native WSUS to deploy updates to the virtual machines?
After some googling I agree B doesn’t look right.
My original guess was D.
Anyone else care to vote ?
Agreed D:
VMM & WSUS will update the Hyper-V “Hosts”… not the actual VM’s.
Configuration Manager will update the VM’s and report on them.

Yes, it is D. WSUS would update the clients but you need the SCCM integration to satisfy the “reporting” aspect of the question.
Why wouldn’t it just be B? You can generate reports with native WSUS
Agree with Strange, SCCM is a nice tool, but for the requierements here, WSUS is enought.
So i say answer B.
WSUS is capable of providing updates for all Windows clients: virtual and physical VMS, or Hyper-V hosts. As long as the system is Windows.
And since it is integrated [in case of Answer B:] into Microsoft System Center2012 VMM.
It takes care of reporting. I also say the Answer is B.
The correct answer is D in my opinion
Why?
See TechNet article:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh341476.aspx
“Virtual Machine Manager (VMM) supports using a WSUS server that is part of a Configuration Manager environment.”
D gets my vote
Reason
Requirement – Deploy updates to all of the virtual machines and the client computers from a single console – Marc indicates that this is possible with D
B would require use of VMM and WSUS console due to the fact that VMM/WSUS integration will only take care of your Hyper-V Hosts not your VMs
