SCCM 2012 Software updates

Hi All,
We have SCCM 2012 R2 Server, We have been using more than a years ,
Now im facing crazy issues .
1.every month we using sccm server for deploying windows patches  .
2.before patching we set maintenance schedules for device group.
3.patch deployment is working fine without any issues and we get the success 100 % compliants report in all the server .
Note:- but after one or two months later  in Monitoring-->deployment tab-->its showing only few machines success results or deploying again old package''
this process is keep on rotating in all the deployment .
how to resolve this issues.
Regards,
Velu M

Hi,
You could try to initiate Software Updates Deployment Evaluation Cycle action from a problematic client, then check CIAgent.log, StateMessage.log to see if there are any helpful information.
Reference:
SCCM state messaging–in depth:http://blogs.msdn.com/b/steverac/archive/2011/01/07/sccm-state-messaging-in-depth.aspx
You could also follow the steps in the blog below to check state messages in WMI.

  • SCCM 2012 Software Updates not installing (bothh Windows patches & 3rd party updates)

    Using SCCM 2012 R2, I am having a problem getting Windows updates to install.  Applications published to people work, and basic software installations published to machines for a straight install work.  However, both Windows patches and Adobe patches
    fail to install on clients. I have imported the Adobe catalog into SCUP, and publish through WSUS. I can see the Adobe patches and Windows patches in SCCM, and can publish them. However, in deployment status out of 4 machines in my test group the Windows patches
    installed on 1 and the other 3 are still in Unknown status with category of "Client check passed/Active". However, none of them are installing the patch - they don't even seem to try.  All of those are Windows 7 PCs, incidentally. On Adobe patches,
    one PC fails and the other 3 machines still sit in Unknown status.  Certificates are distributed,
    Any ideas what might cause the deployment to not push some targets, even when it's past the deadline?
    Thanks,
    Andy Maslin

    An unknown status means that the clients are not reporting back to ConfigMgr correctly. This is often due to the WUA not pointing at the correct WSUS instance. You can verify this by examining the WUAHandler.log on one of those clients and it will clearly
    indicate an issue with this which in turn is often due to a group policy overriding the ConfigMgr behavior.

  • SCCM 2012 Software Update Management for Windows Servers and how to automatic set SCOM maintenance mode?

    Hi,
    We planning to go one level higher to automat and have more dynamic Software Update Management for Windows Servers. We have SCCM 2012 R2, SCOM 2012 R2 and SCO 2012 R2.
    Our plan is to pur server in an AD-Group to get Update Schedule, from the servers will be importet to an Collection for Automatic Update and reboot. If I understand Everything right SCOM can't read AD-Group and put then in an Schedule maintenance mode. SCOM
    can read reg value as exempel.
    IS there any smar way to make the SCOM Maintenance Mode Schedule dynamic?
    I found this
    http://www.scom2k7.com/scom-2012-maintenance-mode-scheduler/?
    /SaiTech

    You could use Orchestrator to put the servers from a specific collection, or AD group, in maintenance mode in SCOM. For an example see:

  • Expiration and Supersedence within an SCCM 2012 Software Update Context

    In SCCM 2012 I have put a process together where I wait till the Friday after Patch Tuesday to begin prepping for production Software Update deployments that will take place that following week, beginning on the first Sunday following Patch Tuesday. I wait
    till Friday for preparation, because the thought is if I wait till then and synchronize the patches to grab the metadata later in the week, I will not pick up any patches that may have already been superseded or expired that were just released just days before
    on Patch Tuesday. 
    My question is, is this a good practice? I have just been doing it this way for a while, but not sure it this is considered a best practice or what. I guess I am just looking for confirmation and also any other techniques, methods, and\or processes that
    may serve me better. 
    If anyone can offer any input that can give me better insight, I would greatly appreciate it. 
    Thanks 

    So how does it work if I sync on Patch Tuesday after the patches are released, and build my packages and deployments right after that and deploy them to the clients and then I re-run another synchronization say on that following Thursday or Friday and find
    out that one of those patches that I deployed has already expired or superseded? 
    Thanks Torsten

  • SCCM 2012 Software Update Group Statistcs showing wrong Asset Count

    Under Software Update Groups in the summary tab the statics section shows total asset count: 5.   I only have this group deployed to only one collection with 1 machine.
    I have a second Software Update Group in the summary tab the statics section shows total asset count: 5.   I only have this group deployed to only one collection with 3 machines.
    The two collection have only one machine in common.
    I tried to run a summarization but these numbers are not updating. 
    where does the asset count come from and how do I get it to display correctly?
    Thanks,

    The asset counts shown in the console for software groups are not specific to any collection or deployment. If you want numbers specific to a collection, you need to use reporting or a console query.

  • SCCM 2012 software update point issue

    The issue of "detection state unknown" (to simplify, use 'unknown' as below)  patch report status 
    The OS in our environment are mainly Win 7 - 64 bits and XP. The typical condition of "unknown" report patch status is as follows:
    1) Workstation with Win 7 - 64bits: "unknown" patch report  status is appearing
    in MS patches for Win XP or 7 - 32bits
    2) Workstation with Win XP: "unknown" patch report  status is appearing
    in MS patches for Win 7 - 32/64bits
    The "unknown" problem appears even client scan is completed in the workstation (see the second picture). The problem may be caused by application bug or configuration. Please
    kindly follow up and further seek support from Microsoft if applicable. 

    WSUS was installed and configured and work fine a few monthes ago as a part of the first try to install SUP before aplying SP 1 to SCCM.
    Both SCCM and WSUS are installed on the same server.
    now we want to deploy all updates from SCCM SUP, and the installation failed. 
    after researching online, uninstalled WSUS completely from the SCCM server, and removed SUP from the Site and rebooted the server.
    installed WSUS 3.0 SP2, when initial config of the WSUS popped up i canceled it, the only config i made
    is at the installation wizard, set the port to 8530, folders location and internal DB.
    >> i am able to open the WSUS console and connect to the "localhost" but no settings
    are configured.
    installed update 2734608, reboot.
    Installed SUP.
    and here we are.

  • SCCM 2012 - Software update error

    Hi all,
    I need some help on the below error, I get the below error when ever I try to sync the Microsoft website. Seems I have tried with all the credentials which has open access on the proxy server. But still I get the below error. I have reinstalled WSUS role
    and configured SUP point so many times. Is it a configuration problem on the SCCM server or proxy server. Can anyone help me under stand the below error
    Also I don't know 65.55.163.221:443 which is no where related to my network
    Error:
    Sync failed: UssCommunicationError: WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection

    Regards, Pratap

    Sync of updates via proxy can be difficult sometimes. Websense can be the worst. That's why I ALWAYS get my Primary Site Server whitelisted though the proxy - no authentication and no filtering.
    That usually gets rid of this kind of issues.
    Note you still have the configure the proxy settings - you just don't need credentials.

  • The update "MacBook Pro (Mid 2012) Software Update 1.0" can't be applied

    When trying to update my new Macbook Pro with Retina through Apple's software update application, I get the error:
    The update "MacBook Pro (Mid 2012) Software Update 1.0" can't be applied
    The update could not be expanded, and may have been corrupted during downloading.
    I've already went through the process twice to download this update.

    Same type of error, but getting 90% downloaded and error message that the update cannot be saved. But it then goes to the screen to apply, but with 90% only - no instructions that it will only download 90% and the rest will come during the update - not going to apply. 

  • SCCM 2012 Software Metering is not working

    SCCM 2012 Software Metering is not working in our environment. Other than software metering, reports work just fine.
    I have created a few simple software metering rules with “Acrobat.exe” and “Outlook.exe”. Rules are enabled. Rules were on at least 6 months.
    When I go to software metering reports, Month parameter value is empty and I can’t choose any value.
    I ran runmetersumm.exe on our server, it did not work as intended. :
    Summarizing data up to 0 hours old.
    File Usage Summary added -1 rows in 0 seconds.
    Monthly Usage Summary added -1 rows in 0 seconds.
    I am stumped. Why would it add minus rows?
    Any ideas how I can make software metering work on our environment?
    Thank you

    Finally figured it out.
    mtrmgr.log did not find any rules when I ran executables. So I knew it wasn't working on the server side.
    After searching for a while, I found the solution from the link below:
    http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/8f048512-c357-437e-89ec-cee5356a10b1/software-metering-reports-empty?forum=configmanagergeneral
    1. Deleted RULECHG.RTA under policypv.box folder
    2. Removed and recreated metering rules again.
    Everything is working again now.
    Thank you.
    I do wonder how to avoid those problems going forward though.

  • Can windows 8 be upgraded to 8.1 through CM 2012 Software Updates deployment?

    Hi,
    Can windows 8 be upgraded to 8.1 through CM 2012 Software Updates deployment rather than having it downloaded through Windows Store?

    The update is not available via software updates. However, if you are doing multiple updates, you can bypass the Windows Store.

  • SCCM Reporting: Software Updates / Apllication the "Installed date" is missing or null in reports

    When the “V_GS_Add_Remove_Programs” or “V_GS_Quick_Fix_Engineering” queried for installed date (the views that contains information  on updates/application
    installed date),  the “installDate0” Column returns “Null” or is

    The machine in this example is “X”
    2. As you can see from the machines X's add remove Programs installed Date is given clearly.
    Appreciate your help on this as its for an audit report of windows updates and applications installed date, I know that some applications do not populate this value but my argument is if its visible from Programs and Features why isn't the data being collected.

  • SCCM 2012 R2 - Updates not installing

    Hi all,
    I have a SCCM 2012 R2 setup at a customer which has problems with distributing updates to the Windows 7 computers in the environment. The update group (with updates that are 100% sure required) is deployed to some test computers but the updates don't get
    installed. It is also configured to be able to install the updates without looking at any maintenance windows.  I see in the reporting that the updates are required, so in my opinion they should get installed.
    I've checked the registry and the Windows Updates registry keys are pointing towards the right server (my SCCM primary site server). I've created a new software update group with fewer updates, same problem. 
    What I find in the UpdatesDeployment.log on one of the test machines is rather strange:

    Hi,
    What's the status in Software Center on clients?
    Please check ScanAgent.log, WUAHandler.log, UpdatesHandler.log and Windowsupdate.log on the client to see if there is any helpful information.

    This list comes from WSUS which in its default, newly installed state is out of date. The list is however updated every time that WSUS in synced and the catalog is updated in ConfigMgr. Thus, you simple need to initiate an update catalog sync from within
    the ConfigMgr console by going to the Software Updates -> All Software Updates node and choosing Synchronize Software Updates from the ribbon bar or right-click context menu.
