As an SCCM administrator, it’s important to learn the concept of troubleshooting a Configuration Manager client installation. By targeting the SCCM client installation error codes, you will have a better idea of what is happening during client installation. The error codes are not an exact science, they can defer depending on the situation. For a better understanding of ccmsetup error codes, read this great post from Jason Sandys.
Client installation troubleshooting is probably your first challenge after an SCCM Installation. A better SCCM client installation rate equals better overall management. You want your SCCM non-client count to be as low as possible.
These error codes appear in ccmsetup logs, located on the target machine – C:\windows\ccmsetup\logs. During the SCCM client installation process, monitor the ccmsetup.log using cmtrace.exe and locate each error code.

There are other logs, to which the SCCM client installation relates. If you don’t find enough information in the ccmsetup.log, scan all related log files in c:\windows\ccm\logs. Use the command line net helpmsg, for more information about your return error code.
SCCM Console
You can also add the Last Installation Error column in the SCCM console:
- Open the SCCM console and navigate to Assets and Compliance / Devices
- In the devices view, right-click on the header and select Last Installation Error

There are chances that the last error code returns an empty value for a device. Important to understand: an SCCM Client error code of “0” is a success.
SCCM Client Installation Error Codes
This post from Technet Forums (Thanks to Charlie Hawkins), has inspired us to prepare a list of all error codes, that can happen during the SCCM client installation. Some errors have been added based on our personal experiences.
Feel free to send us any new error codes, this list will be updated based on your comments.

SCCM Client Installation Error CodesReporting
Knowing the client installation status from reports reduces the number of devices without SCCM client installed in your IT infrastructure. It also increases your effectiveness, when it’s time to tackle all unhealthy clients.
One of our custom SSRS reports is made especially for the Configuration Manager Client. This report now shows the last SCCM client installation error codes, including the description of the installation deployment state. This report will help you achieve the *near* 100% client installation, that your project manager loves to see.

Really useful, thank you!
While installing updates we get the below error code
Failed to Add Update Source for WUAgent of type (2) and id ({E5538892-0326-43DA-939D-18EDBF3664C1}). Error = 0x87d00692.
Hi,
Thanks for this list; very useful! I have a question on your statement regarding the column in the console: “There are chances that the last error code returns an empty value for a device.”
This is the case for my environment: I have 40000 devices, some of which have client install failures, but for all devices the value in the column is blank. I believe I have traced this column in the console back to a view in the DB called v_CombinedDeviceResources and the column CP_LastInstallationError. In the DB, this field is NULL for all devices.
My question is what might cause this NULL value please? We do have devices with the client failing to install, so why would those devices not report this to the server/DB?
Many thanks!

Hi Team,
We received below error in wuagent log.
Failed to Add Update Source for WUAgent of type (2) and id ({6622B5DC-1C2D-4C47-A08C-5B6D8E18F38E}). Error = 0x80070583.
Got an exit code 3221549161, no idea what this one is unfortunately…zero results on google RIP
oops almost forgot, it may be worth noting that SCCM was having trouble activating Windows, caused by something I don’t have access to
CcmSetup failed with error code 0x87d00227
—> NetUseAdd failed: 53: dwParamError = 0
53 – When pushing SCCM client
In addition to adding File & Print sharing Exceptions in Firewall by turning File and Print on, check your DNS servers have the current or updated host records if you’re using DHCP to broadcast IPs to the CIs in your organization. Delete any stale records, reboot the CI, check you can UNC to \\hostname\Admin$ (C:\Windows) and push the client install.

Hello,
I have error 1385 which apparently is not on the list above… still checking the cause…
Thanks,

Windows Setup failed with hexadecimal exit code 0x80070241 (decimal 2147942977). To identify the type of issue, lookup it against the table of known values of Windows Setup errors online.
I wonder where in the WMI Namespace this is recorded, I would like to make this a WQL-query based collection.
Thank you very nice,nice post. Very informative and useful, I made repost on my blog https://alexandrelizarov.wordpress.com/

Any chance of convincing you to do a similar writeup for the seemingly more vague error codes that come with SCCM OSD?
I have a lot of clients with Last Installation Error Code 120. This code isn’t mentioned in your list.
Can you help me with this code?
No update on this error ?!
