Windows updates with SCCM
Hi all
I am new to Deploying windows updates via SCCM so sorry in advance of my ignorance
I have seen the windows updates has not been done since march 2018. I joined here in sept and trying to get my head round SCCM.
I can see all updates that are downloaded are alss deployed.
I tried running synchronise software updates - to download the new updates so i can deploy later but its not doing anything.
When i went to Monitoring - System Status 0 Component status - the status shows X with critical.. There is no easy error messages that helps. Any ideas what i need to do or where i can start?

ive found the problem, wsus pool service was stopped. Once started, i start run sync then after some time i noticed its stopping. Has happened few times now. Any ideas?
yep, thats caused by wsus app pool crashing - generally due to the number of updates in the database.

If you are using ConfigMgr to deploy Software Updates, here's another resource with a script to automate the maintenance of Software Updates.

1) Open monitoring | system status | components status - and where you can see the critical software update point, right click and select "show messages" -All - then select " 2 weeks ago". These messages will give you some insight as to what has gone wrong.
If you post some of the errors here, I can help out.
Im going to take a guess - that your WSUS is not available. To test this, simply try and open the WSUS console.
If you it errors, check the WSUS service is started, also check the WSUS pool in IIS application pools hasn't stopped.
If it has - that's likely caused by another issue - but we'll handle that when we come to it.
