Sccm 2012 Troubleshooting Software Updates

Providing updates to software and maintaining managed resources is a reality of networked, distributed computing. An effective software update management process is necessary to maintain operational efficiency, overcome security issues, and maintain the stability of the network infrastructure. However, because of the changing nature of technology and the continual appearance of new security threats, the task of effective software update management can be challenging.

Troubleshooting

Server side

The component which takes care of software update is software update point (SUP). So first we need to check if the software update point is installed correctly. If installed correctly you will have the entries in the log SUPSetup.log as shown below

Once installed you need to make sure that it is configured the logs which can be of help are WCM.log and WSUSctrl.log. If you find errors then make sure that the WSUS is working well.For the same you can check the following link http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd939799(WS.10).aspx

The logs if configured correctly should look like this.

Once done if you check the status messages for your created update packages you will find the following status messages.

Once these steps are done then the rest of the things happens in the client.

Client Side

In the client side first thing we need to check is the locationservices.log to make sure that the correct SUP point is detected by the client, else make sure that the client is correctly reporting to the SCCM server and that the software update is enabled. Make sure that the server name and the port is specified correctly.

Locationservices.log

Now once the policy agent triggers the scan cycle the windows update agent in the client will contact the WSUS server which in our case is also the SUP point. Once the scan is successfully completed this information is send as state message to the SCCM server. This can be checked in windowsupadte.log or you can check WUAhandler.log under SCCM client log.

Completion of scan is important and if the same is not successfully done you can take the help of the following link to troubleshoot the issues. This link is of WSUS troubleshooting but you can get hints to troubleshoot the error code.

Now when the policy agent triggers the software update deployment cycle the scan result is compared with the catalogue and then it downloads only the required updates and install on schedule. You can check the updatestore.log, updatedeploymemt.log for more details. You can also check windowsupdate.log for more details.
