Monitoring software deployment


There are two ways to implement updates. The first is available on the ConfigMgr server reports on the various stages of implementation of the update. The second is the use of this way to show the status of the update--Software Update Dashboard.

Software Update Reports

The advantage of integrated ConfigMgr with the WSUS server is reporting, as the WSUS server doesn't have nicely developed reporting. After the server is installed, there are a few available default reports divided into the following categories:

  • Software Updates--A. Compliance: Reports that show data regarding compliance based on a certain collection, software update group, or update
  • Software Updates--B. Deployment Management: Reports that show data about updates in certain deployments
  • Software Updates--C. Deployment States: Reports that show data regarding the status of each deployment
  • Software Updates--D. Scan: Reports that show data regarding clients scanning for updates
  • Software Updates--E. Troubleshooting...
