PENDING SCCM Client Uninstall-Reinstallation on 2000+

[sagardas]

Hello Members,

There are around 2000+ machines out of 6000 domain workstations; where in windows patches has been failed. All the domain PCs.
Please let me know how can this be fixed so that failed PCs will get software updates.
Whether SCCM client uninstall & reinstall can fix this. There are around 50% failed machines running on older versions & remaining on new version 5.00.8740.1012.

Let me know quickest & fastest method.

TIA

Uninstall and reinstall won't be effective. You can first work on getting all the clients to same version. Have you enabled auto client upgrade ?. With this enabled the client agents will be upgraded to latest version in specified number of days.

I strongly suggest you to test the updates installation on set of computers first before doing a mass deployment. Roll back is tedious and always time consuming.
