The caller uses the EnumerateUpdates method on a CCMUpdatesDeployment COM Automation Class object to determine what actionable updates are available for the client computer. These updates can then be displayed in the main updates portion of the Configuration Manager console or in another client application-specific way. For implementation instructions, see How to Enumerate Software Updates.
The caller is responsible for releasing the updates collection retrieved in the ppiUpdatesCollection parameter.
