Monitoring the Software Distribution Logs
In addition to using the Software Distribution Jobs window, you can monitor the progress of software distribution jobs using centralized progress and error logs for both the packages being installed and the Clients undertaking the installations. Each line in a job log identifies the Client PC and an event:
Progress
logs record when an installation process starts and finishes, errors and PCs that have skipped an
installation due to filters, load control, or user refusal. For Clients running Windows NT, 2000, XP and
2003, the progress log entries are also displayed in the operating system's event log.
Error
logs record errors encountered during the execution of each Agent. Use them to check for package installation
problems.
For an explanation of the messages that can occur during a software distribution job, click an entry in the following list:
