SCCM: see if updates installed succesfully or failed -

is there way can see if windows updates installed correctly or failed. windows update history through sccm.

i had trouble paths , ineffective running clients , controll.

there multiple ways check this, none of them perfect:

• use reporting. e.g. "management 4 - deployments target computer", "compliance 4 - deployment (per update)", ... etc. or other report, there tons of reports tell same things.

• use logging. can view status messages , see if computer installed updates. more useful troubleshooting , not checking if updates installed.

• the client writes logfiles ccm directory http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb693878.aspx
