Troubleshooting SCCM Part III ...Software Updates

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.

The Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 software updates feature provides a set of tools and resources that can help manage the complex task of tracking and applying software updates to client computers in the enterprise. Click any link in the following section for overview information about software updates.

For more details on how to do software updates using configuration manager please check this link https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb680701.aspx

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 https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd939799(WS.10).aspx

The logs if configured correctly should look like this.

Once you confirm that the WSUS configuration is over then you need to make sure that the SUP is able to synchronize with the Microsoft update catalogue site and the same can be checked in this log.

Once the synchronization is successfully done, updates will be available in the update repository. You can then go ahead and create the deployment template and schedule for installation. On more details on how to please check the following link.

https://blogs.technet.com/configurationmgr/archive/2009/08/17/guide-to-software-updates-deployment-in-configuration-manager-2007.aspx

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

Severity Type Site code Date / Time System Component Message ID Description

Information Audit CEN 28/04/2010 4:11:20 PM SCCMCEN Microsoft.ConfigurationManagement.dll 30000 User "SCS\Administrator" created a package named " TEST " (CEN00003).

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

================

Calling back with the following WSUS locations LocationServices 4/29/2010 10:39:40 AM 2844 (0x0B1C)

WSUS Path='https://SCCMCEN.SCS.IN:443', Server='SCCMCEN', Version='2' LocationServices 4/29/2010 10:39:40 AM 2844 (0x0B1C)

Calling back with locations for WSUS request {10066528-1C1B-4A0C-958B-F29ACBEDBBDF} LocationServices 4/29/2010 10:41:31 AM 2844 (0x0B1C)

Calling back with the following distribution points LocationServices 4/29/2010 11:27:23 AM 2552 (0x09F8)

Distribution Point='\\SCCMCEN.SCS.IN\SMSPKGC$\CEN00003\4ea80bd5-c8ac-4f98-be8a-1c18f24a34e4', Locality='LOCAL', DPType='SERVER', Version='6487', Capabilities='<Capabilities SchemaVersion="1.0"><Property Name="SSL" Version="1"/></Capabilities>', Signature='' LocationServices 4/29/2010 11:27:23 AM 2552 (0x09F8)

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.

WUAHandler.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.

https://blogs.technet.com/sus/archive/2009/11/17/tips-for-troubleshooting-wsus-agents-that-are-not-reporting-to-the-wsus-server.aspx 

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.

  1. Have you asked this question on technet forum? if yes please share the link
  2. Is this CM12 or SCCM 2007
  3. Error 0x80072efd means: 'The attempt to connect to the server failed. Can you check the following logs for more information "%Windir%WindowsUpdate.log and ScanAgent.log Regards Pankaj

    Nice blog!
    The Problem i have is: Installed SUP on a secondary site. The SUP is healthy and running. How can i check if the Client communication regarding updates is to the new SUP on the secondary site instead of the SUP on the Primary site? LocationServices.log lists both WSUS Server, WindowsUpdate.log only lists the Server on the Primary site. Due to a bad Connection i have to be sure that this communication stays on the secondary site...
    Regards A.Richter

    Very good and useful but hasn't solved my problem. The issue is I met a poorly implemented SCCM. In a nutshell WSUS failed and I had to re-install the WSUS. I installed the WSUS on the site system with a remote SQL server / DB. The issue is my synchronization is fine infact clients are picking definition updates all logs as stated in this blog seem to be fine but when I get to Software Updates Library on the SCCM console on each new update I see: Required 0 Installed 0 Percent Compliant 0. Compliance is usually 0 for new deployments. What do you think the problem is?

    Femi, was WSUS previously installed on another server? It's possible that group policy is configuring Windows Update settings on the clients to use the old server.
