Windows Update (Client) Troubleshooting in SCCM

SCCM includes an integrated WSUS server in it. You can set this Software Update Point (SUP) to manage your environment windows updates. However, there most likely will some problems along the way, below are the steps on how to check the issue.
Client Side

Software update Components involved are:
1.Windows update agent (WUA)
2.Software update client agent (from SCCM)
3.Windows management instrumentation (WMI)

The Software Update process from the ConfigMgr client

In the client side first thing we need to check is the locationservices.log to make sure that the correct SUP point is detected by the client, else make sure that the client is correctly reporting to the SCCM server and that the software update is enabled. Make sure that the server name and the port is specified correctly.

Locationservices.log
================
Calling back with the following WSUS locations LocationServices              4/29/2010 10:39:40 AM  2844 (0x0B1C)
WSUS Path='https://SCCMCEN.SCS.IN:443', Server='SCCMCEN', Version='2'         LocationServices              4/29/2010 10:39:40 AM         2844 (0x0B1C)
Calling back with locations for WSUS request {10066528-1C1B-4A0C-958B-F29ACBEDBBDF}          LocationServices                4/29/2010 10:41:31 AM  2844 (0x0B1C)
Calling back with the following distribution points          LocationServices              4/29/2010 11:27:23 AM  2552 (0x09F8)
Distribution Point='\\SCCMCEN.SCS.IN\SMSPKGC$\CEN00003\4ea80bd5-c8ac-4f98-be8a-1c18f24a34e4', Locality='LOCAL', DPType='SERVER', Version='6487', Capabilities='<Capabilities SchemaVersion="1.0"><Property Name="SSL" Version="1"/></Capabilities>', Signature=''         LocationServices              4/29/2010 11:27:23 AM  2552 (0x09F8)

Now once the policy agent triggers the scan cycle the windows update agent in the client will contact the WSUS server which in our case is also the SUP point. Once the scan is successfully completed this information is send as state message to the SCCM server. This can be checked in windowsupadte.log or you can check WUAhandler.log under SCCM client log.

WUAHandler.log
==============
Async searching of updates using WUAgent started.       WUAHandler     4/29/2010 10:42:20 AM  3488 (0x0DA0)
Async searching completed.       WUAHandler     4/29/2010 11:24:21 AM  1496 (0x05D8)

Added Update Source ({D4F72DDB-F6C4-4B05-835F-A8C23098857A}) of content type: 2                WUAHandler     4/29/2010 11:25:25 AM       2752 (0x0AC0)
Async searching of updates using WUAgent started.       WUAHandler     4/29/2010 11:25:25 AM  2752 (0x0AC0)
Async searching completed.       WUAHandler     4/29/2010 11:26:28 AM  2396 (0x095C)
Successfully completed scan.    WUAHandler     4/29/2010 11:26:32 AM  3756 (0x0EAC)


Now when the policy agent triggers the software update deployment cycle the scan result is compared with the catalogue and then it downloads only the required updates and install on schedule. You can check the updatestore.log, updatedeploymemt.log for more details. You can also check windowsupdate.log for more details.
