SMS_WSUS_SYNC_MANAGER
This method displays status information related to
both WSUS synchronization and site database synchronization with WSUS. The
wsyncmgr.log stores detailed information and is located in either the INSTALL_PATH
\Logs folder or the SMS_CCM\Logs folder, if the system is a management point.
You can use one of the following methods to ensure that update content distributes suc-
cessfully to distribution points:
■
Content Status
In the Monitoring workspace, under the Distribution Status node,
you can click Content Status. When you click this node, the results pane displays a list
of all content that has been distributed. You can right-click a specific content type,
such as a software update package, and then click View Status to display status and
progress information related to content distribution to distribution points.
■
Package Transfer Manager
The Package Transfer Manager component
(SMS_PACKAGE_TRANSFER_MANAGER) provides status information related to content
transfers to distribution points. You can find the related PkgXferMgr.log on the site
server in the <
>\Logs folder. This log file pro-
vides verbose installation and configuration information related to content distribution
to remote distribution points.
After update content has been transmitted to distribution points, you can use the follow-
ing elements to monitor the deployment of that content to Configuration Manager clients:
Deployment Status
When you click the Deployments node, the results pane shows
a list of all current deployments, including deployments related to the software update
feature. You can right-click a specific deployment and then click View Status to display
status information related to a specific software update deployment.
■
Alerts
When you create a deployment, you can enable alerts based on specified cri-
teria. For example, you might want an alert to be generated if client compliance for the
deployment is below a specific percentage. You view generated alerts from the Alerts
node in the Monitoring workspace.
