I'm having a problem deploying updates via SCCM 2012. Environment is Server 2012, SQL 2012, SCCM 2012 SP1 CU1.
I created a software update group and deployed it to a collection with a mandatory end date/time. If I check the clients manually, the majority of the updates in the group need to be installed on the clients, so the deployment "should" work. Software distribution works, but not updates; even though they worked up until a couple of weeks ago. If I check the status of the deployment, all devices are in the "Unknown" category.
I've tested both the mplist and mpcert and both are successful.
In the WUAhandler.log file I see:
CWuaHandler::SetCategoriesForStateReportingExclusion called with E0789628-CE08-4437-BE74-2495B842F43B;E0789628-CE08-4437-BE74-2495B842F43B,A38C835C-2950-4E87-86CC-6911A52C34A3; for leaves and E0789628-CE08-4437-BE74-2495B842F43B,A38C835C-2950-4E87-86CC-6911A52C34A3;
