How to troubleshoot "SCCM Client" installation issue ?

Question

Hi,

I am new to SCCM. I was told to install SCCM Client on Servers.

However, I have attempted but found that SCCM Client was not installed on a number of Servers.

May I ask

1. Is there any way for me to check which "SCCM Client" installation fails ? Is there any log file ?
2. What is the usual troubleshooting skills and possible reason ?

Thanks

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.
The important log in case of client installation in the agent is the ccmsetup.log and clientmsi.log these logs are present in the location C:\windows\ccmsetup\logs.
When we start troubleshooting client push installation the first log we need to check is ccm.log in the server logs(%ProgramFiles%\Configuration Manager\Logs), from ccm.log you can see the start of the request made to the client and you can verify if the ccmsetup.exe service was able to successfully run on the targeted client machine.

In short. -Check online/health status (A)Online and (B)offline (site send msg to assigned management Point to see clients status if in 5 min the MSG is'nt recieved by the management Point then sir considers the client alone otherwise online) -Client activity (Client communicated with cm in past 7 days then active otherwise inactive). Actions based on which activeness of client is determined by the site: •Request policy update. • Sent a MSG. -Client check: website your PC is correctly connected and working with SCCM server or not by: •Verify installation. •checking communication -Obsolete (Configuring devices that are outdated or no longer in use/supported) # I HOPE IT EILL HELP YOU #. 😎REGARDS😎.
