View the status of an update that is currently installing via SCCM

Question

I have updates being deployed through SCCM. Is there a way to see the percent/status of the updates installation process on a single machine? I don't want to know how many machines have it installed. I want to know how far along a specific machine is in the install process.

If I launch it in Windows Updates, I can see a percent (I think).
If I launch it with DISM, I can see the progress as a percent.
If I launch it in Software Center, I see Installing...

It would be nice if there is a way to see how far along that specific update is in the installation process.

Is there a powershell script that I can use to query this information so I can see where it stands? Or ever a log file that can tell me the same information?

Answer 1

Have you reviewed UpdatesDeployment.log on the client?

Also to track the full process, see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/mem/configmgr/track-software-update-deployment-process#deployment-evaluation-and-update-installation-on-clients

Hi @Charles White ,

Agree with NickHogarth, we could check UpdatesDeployment.log, which records the process of installation.

Here is the screenshot we could refer to:

No, I was not aware of this log. And with it's name, I thought it was the progress of the updates on all machines or the copying of the updates to all machines

This is exactly what I needed. Thank you both.
