In this blog post (SCCM 2012 Troubleshoot software update client issues),I will explain you the basic troubleshooting steps (only on client side ) which will help you to resolve issues on your own by analyzing the logs and take it further afterwards.Р”В«efore we jump into the troubleshooting,I would like to illustrate the main components which are involved in deploying software updates. The solution for the most of the above issues can be identified and solved by analyzing the the client logs before we do in-depth troubleshooting.

couple of questions on the subject line are likeР”РЋ) Client getting packages ,applications but not software updatesР”Сћ) Most of the clients receiving deployed software updates but still few do not get.Р”В¤) clients log says ,patches required but sccm reports says,updates not required( means complaint)Р”Тђ) Client log says patches not required but sccm report says ,updates required.Р”В¦)Software update failing to install ,how to fixР”В§) I have added patches to the existing software update group/deployment and these newly added patches not deploying successful and many more РІР‚В¦.

I have created lot of SSRS reports on software update compliance out of many,one of the widely used report is get the patch compliance status of software update group for specific collection with linked report to get the computers with unknown and required status for troubleshooting (to check when was the last hardware,last software scan,last user ,OS etc).Р”В¬oming to the subject line, I have been seeing many questions on the configuration manager forums and social networking sites on software update patching issues. It is always challenging and import task for any sccm administrator to achieve good patch compliance success rate within the given SLA(Service level agreement).Patch compliance success rate is depends mainly on heath of your SCCM clients and some times things may go wrong even though sccm client is healthy (able to receive applications/packages and performing inventory except patches). One of most important and critically used feature in configuration manager 2012 is Software updates.
