SCCM - Windows Update Agent Compliance Item
This is a script I created to pro-actively detect systems that failed to add the WSUS server settings.
I set the threshold high due to the initial client install will have errors until the client applies the settings.
Most of the time, the fix was to delete the c:\windows\system32\GroupPolicy\Machine\Registry.pol and re-run the actions.
Const ForReading = 1
Set objRegEx = CreateObject("VBScript.RegExp")
objRegEx.Pattern = "Failed to Add Update Source for WUAgent"
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set objFile = objFSO.OpenTextFile("C:\Windows\CCM\Logs\WUAHandler.log", ForReading)
i =0
Do Until objFile.AtEndOfStream
strSearchString = objFile.ReadLine
Set colMatches = objRegEx.Execute(strSearchString)
If colMatches.Count > 0 Then
For Each strMatch in colMatches
i = i + 1
Next
End If
Loop
'Wscript.Echo "Number of failures: " & i
If i > 20 then
Wscript.quit(1)
End If
objFile.Close

How to Re-Install SCCM Current Branch Updates
I recently updated it to 1806 and noticed something was missing when the Third Party Software Updates feature wasn't available to enable in the console.
I checked the log file CMUpdate.log in the directory below. There was a lot errors seemingly in validating the files but nothing that I can make out to see what caused why it had the issues.
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\Logs\
To reinstall the components, you would perform a site reset.
From MS, when a site reset runs at a central administration site or primary site, the site: (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sccm/core/servers/manage/modify-your-infrastructure#bkmk_reset)
The update should be in this directory below and run the splash.hta to bring up the menu.
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\cd.latest\
Click Next and select the Reset site with no configuration changes.
You can view the log from the View Log button during the progress.

- Reinstalls all site components and all site system roles at the site

How to Install the SCCM Admin Console on a System without the Installation Media
I'm using the Microsoft Office 365 virtual lab and want to install it on another VM I created. Unfortunately, this doesn't contain the install media to run the consolesetup.exe.
After some digging on the system, the installer can be found on the SCCM server or other sources could be another computer with the console installed and has been updated.
The directory where the files are found: "C:\Program Files (x86)\ConfigMgr10\AdminconsoleSetup"
In the directory, you'll find some GUID named folders. They will contain the "Adminconsole.msi" or the Console Update.
Depending on which source you get it from, you may have more than one folder containing the "Adminconsole.msi". Install using the newest created date.
After installing the console, run the latest console update from searching the same directory to avoid the console from prompting to update on first launch.
