As an SCCM administrator, it’s important to learn how to troubleshoot an SCCM client installation error. By targeting the SCCM client installation error codes, you will better understand 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 to manage your device.

These error codes appear in ccmsetup logs which is 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.

SCCM Client Installation Error

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\logsUse 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 ComplianceDevices
  • In the devices view, right-click on the header and select Last Installation Error
SCCM Client 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 Microsoft Learn 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.

Don’t forget to emphasize the prerequisites of the SCCM client, this will increase your success percentage during client installation. You can also check the list of client commands list, as additional help for troubleshooting your SCCM clients.

SCCM Client Installation Reporting

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.

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! J

oops almost forgot, it may be worth noting that SCCM was having trouble activating Windows, caused by something I don't have access to

---> 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.
