SCCM Software Update Statistics Figure

Question

Can you please enlighten me on this.

When I click a certain Windows Feature Update, the Statistics field show this figure:

Compliant: 0

Required: 3460

Installed: 0

Unknown: 0

Does "Required" also means that the update/s were deployed?

Where and what specific logs should I look for the client/server?

Thank you in advance.

Answer 1

Required means that the update is applicable and missing. What do you want to check? What is the end objective?

Answer 2

Hi @Ernani Ancheta, 

Does "Required" also means that the update/s were deployed?

1, Any of the following conditions could be true when the software update state is Required:

The software update was not deployed to the client computer.

• The software update was installed on the client computer. However, the most recent state message has not yet been inserted into the database on the site server.
• The software update was installed on the client computer. However, the software update installation requires a computer restart before the update is completed.
• The software update was deployed to the client computer but has not yet been installed.

Where and what specific logs should I look for the client/server?

2, For more details, I recommend that you check the following reports:

• • • 1. Management 8 - Computers missing content (secondary)
• Management 2 - Updates required but not deployed
• Management 4 - Deployments that target a collection
• Management 5 - Deployments that target a computer For more information about these reports, please refer to this link:

Looking forward to your feedback.

Best regards,
Cherry
