Determine if Client is downloading from SCCM Server or Windows Update

[brink668]

My FEP Clients have stopped downloading updates from the SCCM Server, they are only updating from Windows Update. It seems that something is very amiss as my FEP clients are downloading from Windows Update even though in the policy I have this set to Disabled Alternate Sources set to TRUE.

 

1. How can I easily determine if the FEP client is updating to the SCCM Server or Windows Update which logs shows this?

 

2. I noticed also when I click on the about section of FEP the policy applied does not match with what is actually applied to the client / collection. Could this be a result of a corrupted policy?

1. I would start with the WindowsUpdate.log

2. Could also be (actually, even more likely) that your clients are not communicating with the site.

From the logs it looks like it is communicating with the site/server; pulled some messages from the log

The server is our site we only have 1
