NOTE: I can't guarentee these will work in your environment, or even break stuff. But from my experience this has all been successful for me.
If the SCCM 2012 client won't install
Client.MSI.log Error 8004100E stating "Setup was unable to compile the file discoverystatus.mof <someFile> <someError> 8004100E"
Repair the Microsoft Policy Platform as follows. REF: Technet Forums, though I modified it.
1) Open an elevated command prompt.
NOTE: I'm usually doing this in a remote command line which works fine.
2) cd "c:\Program Files\Microsoft Policy Platform"
3) net stop winmgmt /y
4) for %i in (*.dll) do regsvr32 /s %i
5) net start winmgmt
5) for %i in (*.mof) do mofcomp %i
NOTE: there will be some errors, the most important success is ExtendedStatus.mof
6) for %i in (*.mfl) do mofcomp %i
NOTE: there are typically no mfl files to comp
7) Re-run ccmsetup.exe
CCMSetup.log Error 80070643 preceeded by "The current version of Microsoft Policy Platform is already installed. Setup will now exit"
Manually uninstall Microsoft Policy Platform
1) Open an elevated command prompt.
NOTE: I'm usually doing this in a remote command line which works fine.
2) cd "c:\Program Files\Microsoft Policy Platform"
3) msiexec.exe /x MicrosoftPolicyPlatformSetup.msi /qn /l* mpp.log
4) Re-run ccmsetup.exe
Setup log hangs for more than 20 minutes. Technically it's the ccmsetup service that hangs. This is probably unique to our environment but if you use McAfee products:
1) Log onto the machine (remote is fine)
2) Right click McAfee in the taskbar and select Update Secuirty
3) Bounce the box and re-run ccmsetup.
If the client is installed but not working
Check the locationservices.log
1) Does it know who it's MP is? If not troubleshoot MP issues
Site Boundary Issues
1) Check the IP of the machine against the boundaries. Adjust boundaries if you missed a scope.
Grabbing an old site code? Noticed this after 2007 to 2012 upgrade.
1) Open an elevated command prompt
2) cd c:\windows\system32\GroupPolicy\Machine
3) delete the .pol file
4) gpupdate /force
ForgotThe.log Error 80041002 stating '(WBEM_E_NOT_FOUND)
1) see Microsoft KB
Check Impersonation Rights
1) Open local policy
2) Windows --> Security Settings --> Local Policies --> User Rights Assignment
3) "Impersonate a client after authentication" should include SERVICE
NOTE: Be nice to your IA guy, validate this with them agains their standards
Updates don't work
Is the update you're not compliant with deployed? (duh, I know. But I've done it)
1) Look in the built-in report 5. Compliance for a specific system
or
2) In the console open Software Updates --> all Software Updates
3) search for the KB, and check the Downloaded and Deployed columns
Is it getting the policy?
1) Get the UpdateID from the SCCM Console
2) Use PolicySpy to see if it's listed
NOTE: using PolicySpy is outside the scope of this post. Google it unless I write about it later.
WindowsUpdate.log Error 800736b3 (Assembly Not Installed)
NOTE: I'm not going to lie, this is almost always a fatal error. Rebuilding the box should be considered. But you can try any or all of the following:
1) Uninstall parent software, i.e. if it's a Office patch, reinstall Office. I've seen this work for .Net as well.
2) Run the System Update Readiness Tool from Microsoft
3) Run SFC.exe /scannow (takes 15 minutes~ish)
4) Rebuild the Software Distribution folder
a. Stop Windows Update
b. Rename the c:\windows\softwaredistribution folder
c. Start WUA back up, it'll rebuild softwaredistribution
5) Repair WMI
a. (Best)Run WMIRepair.exe /cmd (packaged in R Zanders SCCM Client Center)
or
b. the light version:
Set WMI service to disabled, and stop
cd /d %windir%\system32\wbem
for %i in (*.dll) do RegSvr32 -s %i
for %i in (*.exe) do %i /RegSvr32
cd /d %windir%\syswow64\wbem
for %i in (*.dll) do RegSvr32 -s %i
for %i in (*.exe) do %i /RegSvr32
Set WMI to Auto and start
cd /d %windir%\system32\wbem
for %i in (*.mof) do mofcomp %i
for %i in (*.mfl) do mofcomp %i
cd /d %windir%\sysWoW64\wbem
for %i in (*.mof) do mofcomp %i
for %i in (*.mfl) do mofcomp %i
6) Repair MSIExec
a. CD %windir%\system32
b. attrib -r -s -h dllcache
c. ren msi.dll msi.old
d. ren msiexec.exe msiexec.old
e. msihnd.dll msihnd.old
f. Reboot
g. Net stop msiserver
h. Msiexec /unregister
i. Msiexec /regserver
j. Regsvr32.exe /s %windir%\system32\msi.dll
k. Net start msiserver
7) If you got this far, rebuild the box.

4) Re-run Windows Update NOTE: you can use WMIC commands from My Blog, use 108 and watch the UpdatesStore.log
