I see this question being asked a lot, but no answers have been given: Does NCM support updating stacked Cisco switches?
Are you referring specifically to firmware upgrades? Not natively out of the box, you would have to create some content or as you indicated, there have been various threads on this topic, here is a good one - (+) Firmware Upgrades for stacked Cisco switches - Forum - Network Configuration Manager (NCM) - THWACK (solarwinds.com)
