Reporting on failed Feature Updates and the exact error that caused it

[Timothy Menzel]

Can Configuration Manager report on the exact error that prevents a PC from applying a Feature Update?

Similar to that, is there a remediation method "Fix it" that we can deploy to resolve common errors?

Hi Timothy. Yes. As of ConfigMgr 2010, we added the ability to leverage and collect the output of SetupDiag. See https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/configmgr/osd/deploy-use/manage-windows-as-a-service#analyze-se... for details.
