You have a System Center 2012 Configuration Manager environment. You create a deployment package to deploy software updates to a collection of client computers with a deployment schedule of As soon as possible. The Software Update Home Page indicates one installation failure for the package. You need to view information about the installation failure. Which log file should you view?

Question

Accepted Answer

D. WindowsUpdate.log WindowsUpdate.log is written directly by the Windows Update Agent on each client computer and captures every update download and installation attempt, including specific error codes and descriptive failure messages. It is the authoritative client-side log for diagnosing software update installation failures in a ConfigMgr deployment because it records the exact point and reason the installation failed.

Answer

A. SrcUpdateMgr.log SrcUpdateMgr.log tracks the Software Updates Source Manager component on the site server and does not contain client-side installation result data.

Answer

B. WUSSyncXML.log WUSSyncXML.log records synchronization activity between the Software Update Point and the WSUS database, not the outcome of client update installations.

Answer

C. SmsWusHandler.log SmsWusHandler.log records the ConfigMgr client agent's handoff to the Windows Update Agent but does not contain the granular installation failure details that WindowsUpdate.log provides.
