How to deploy Visual studio patches from SCCM

Question

Hi Team,

I was trying to deploy MS Visual studio from SCCM. 2 servers are installed with Visual studio and patch scan is success, but in console Feb 23 MS visual studio patch is not applicable for any devices.

Is visual studio client detector utility being a mandatory for assessing the patch compliance status?

we have installed this utility and did a scan, but still patch is not applicable for those 2 servers.

Hi @midhum PS, 

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! 

Can you tell me what the installed Visual Studio and patch are?

The Visual Studio Client Detector Utility is used to detect the current versions of Microsoft Visual Studio on client computers, and to determine whether an administrator update applies to those clients. 

If the VS administrator update is not applicable for client servers, please ensure that you deploy correct administrator updates and configure the client machine to receive Administrator Updates. 

For more details, please refer to: Applying administrator updates. 

Besides, you can check: Error codes and conditions to find some clues. 

Sincerely,

Anna

Thanks, Anna, for the reply. Below is the current patch level of one device. Also, we are trying to deploy the monthly released security updates, not sure that is the updates you are referring as Administrator update.
