Software update scan cycle missing

How do you check the deployment name for particular assignment? If the count of patches are less than what it supposed to be,then you may have to refresh the machine policy ,initiate software update scan and wait for a while before client start downloading the policies. Read the following blogs to know the maintenance window calculation for software update installation. If you see all things working good, the final log to refer is RebootCoordinator.

Below diagram shows the configuration manager Client side software update deployment flowchart captured from configuration manager software update management filed experience guide. For troubleshooting clients, You can use tools like deployment monitoring tool,configuration manager support center etc. I normally use the configuration manager support center to troubleshoot the client issues to check if the policy for the deployed software update group received correctly or not based on the PolicyIVersion.

Open the support center you can download from Microsoft ,connect to remote machine need admin rights on remote computer. Good luck. Couple of common workarounds when troubleshooting software update issues :. This approach provides a fresh start with a new Windows Update data store if the Datastore.

Restart the windows update service ,trigger software update scan cycle and software update deployment evaluation cycle. This post will be updating with possible solutions frequently.

So keep checking this blog post. Thank you for your excellent article. I having issues with the "Async searching of updates using WUAgent started. I have restarted the Update Service, reinstalled agents, deleted the Software Dist folder, but still nothing.

Any suggestions? Hi, Is the issue happening on servers or workstation? Hope you can help. I have couple of servers on different sites that are showing as non-compliant but software is installed. I run PS script above and all possible advices from web but non-compliant message is persistent. There are bunch of servers that are showing as compliant on same site.

Under details for those assets status for all packages are "Installed" but there fields are blank for "Enforcement State" and "Last Enforcement Message Time".

Any idea how can I force "Enforcement State". Any clue about this error message by the way, only one of my servers is experiencing this behavior; everything fine on DPs :.

Hi, Error code 0x87d refers to item not found. Check if the deployment or the content is active. Can you advice what are the basic checks to do if 20H2 upgrade package deployment for windows 10 is not showing up in software center for download by user. Hi, You can check the policyagent and policyevalutor log if the client receive the policy first in place. For some reason, if the content not distributed to DP, the deployment wont appear in the software center unless you choose to download from internet if CMG available.

Very Good information provided here in this article. The patches shown in some of the Client machine after the desired patching window. Nearly 4 Hours later the deployment deadline. Could you please let me know the exact solution for such issues? Hi, Check if you have enabled deadline randomization in client settings that would delay the patches to upto 4 hrs after the deadline. Hi, "Waiting for another installation to complete" is due to other installation running and it must complete.

To check the current installation, you can read the client logs such as wuahandler. It saved my day, rather week… many thanks for your effort. If I can leave a positive Feedback somewhere, let me know…. Hello, Excellent article again. I have an issue with which is not downloading in May or June Any idea Thanks, Dom.

Hi, Did you check cas. Hello Eswar, I am having issue with newly created environment. Any idea what am i missing here? Hi, are these computers did the successful software update scan?

Unknown means, client did not get the policy of this ADR deployment yet hence unknown. I download the patch from MS directly and I can install the same without problem. I checked all cient logs and the same looks fine. There is any idea what is going on? Did you check in the wmi of client in software update instance if that particular patch is not required?

Looks like, more investigating needs to be done on the client PC rather installing the patch manually. Do you have any other clients that have same behavior so it would be easier to check from client WMI. I haven't encountered such issue.

I use for application testing 2 desktops and when necessary I will refresh them with an image using SCCM. Its not Blank! But when i see the console to check last software scan date, it shows blank. Also i have increased MIF size from below. Below is the log file from client machine " inventoryagent.

No report will be sent. Last edited: Aug 1, Sort by date Sort by votes. Sam Banford Well-Known Member. Rohit said:. Click to expand Upvote 0 Downvote.

Hello Sam! I have configured and now i am getting latest software scan date in console. Also verify the proxy settings on the client to make sure that they are configured correctly.

For more information, see the Scan failures due to proxy-related issues section. Finally, verify that the WSUS ports can be accessed. WSUS can be configured to use any of the following ports:. Port settings are configured when the software update point site system role is created. These port settings must be the same as the port settings that are used by the WSUS website. The following procedures show how to verify the port settings that are used by WSUS and the software update point.

After the ports are verified and configured correctly, you should check port connectivity from the client by running the following command:. This error suggests that firewall rules must be configured to enable communication for the WSUS Server ports. Error 0xf0c translates to A certificate is required to complete client authentication. If the WSUS website or any of the virtual directories that were mentioned previously are configured incorrectly to Accept or Require client certificates, you receive this error.

Before you configure SSL, you should review the certificate requirements. And make sure that a server authentication certificate is installed on the software update point server. WSUS encrypts update metadata only. The Software Updates feature automatically configures a local Group Policy setting for the Configuration Manager client, so that it's configured to use the software update point source location and port number.

When the Configuration Manager client needs to process a software update scan, Scan Agent creates a scan request based on the available policy as noted in ScanAgent. Location Services creates a location request and sends it to the management point.

In LocationServices. After getting the results from the stored procedure, the management point sends a response to the client. Location Services parses the response and sends the location back to Scan Agent. Scan Agent now has the policy and the update source location with the appropriate content version. In ScanAgent. WUAHandler adds the update source to the registry. It initiates a Group Policy refresh if the client is in domain to see whether Group Policy overrides the update server that's added.

The following entries are logged in WUAHandler. In WindowsUpdate. For an existing client, we could expect to see the following message in WUAHandler. After the update source is successfully added, Scan Agent raises a state message and starts the scan. If not, install and configure a software update point and monitor SUPSetup. For more information, see Install and configure a software update point. For more information about software update scan failures troubleshooting, see Troubleshoot software update scan failures.

A scan may result from:. Scan results will include superseded updates only when they're superseded by service packs and definition updates. In WUAHandler. Review WUAHandler. If no new entries occur, it indicates that no SUP is returned by the management point. To fix such issues, see Scan failures due to missing or corrupted components. There's a known issue that a bit Windows 7 ConfigMgr R2 client requesting an update scan fails to return scan results to Configuration Manager.

It causes the client to report incorrect compliance status and the updates fail to install when Configuration Manager requests the update cycle.

However, if you use the Windows Update control panel applet, the updates usually install fine. When you're experiencing this problem, you receive a message similar to the following one in WindowsUpdate. It's a memory allocation issue, bit Windows 7 computers won't see this error since their address space is effectively unlimited. However, they'll exhibit high memory and high CPU usage, possibly affecting performance.

X86 clients will also exhibit high memory usage usually around 1. When troubleshooting scan failures, check the WUAHandler.
