I want to building a new SCCM server from scratch and the old SCCM Server should be removed

Hi,

dont understand that

f your current SCCM is “not working fine like before many years”, the decision point is important. I the database and hierarchy are still salvageable, fixing and upgrading in place is often significantly safer than rebuilding. If it is truly unstable or undocumented, then a fresh current branch installation is reasonable, but you should treat it as a migration project, not just a reinstall.

How can I fix and upgrading in place. I am using Windows Server 2025, SQL 2022 and SCCM build 2509.

My Issue is ADRs and monthly Windows Update. Sometimes the client get Windows Updates and can download and install it, sometimes get Update and o Software Center, I see either "Downloading" and stuck by 0% or "Waiting for install" and stuck a long time

Do you have any Idea how I can resolve it? All application I deploy with ADR or without ADR, does work fine, only Windows Update does not work always

Start by checking whether all Software Update Packages created by ADRs are fully distributed to every Distribution Point and whether clients are correctly assigned to boundaries and boundary groups with an associated DP. Then verify the WSUS component health on the SUP server, especially IIS app pools, WSUS synchronization status, and whether WSUS cleanup and SQL maintenance are regularly performed, because old WSUS databases become extremely unstable over years.

On affected clients, review WUAHandler.log, UpdatesDeployment.log, UpdatesHandler.log, CAS.log, ContentTransferManager.log, and DataTransferService.log under C:\Windows\CCM\Logs. If clients stay at “Waiting for install,” the update scan might be incomplete, another installation might be blocking CBS, reboot status is pending, maintenance windows are blocking installation, or Windows Update Agent is unhealthy. Also verify that Delivery Optimization or BITS is not restricted by GPO.

Try resetting the Windows Update components and forcing a new scan with: net stop wuauserv && net stop bits && rd /s /q C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution && net start bits && net start wuauserv then trigger SCCM scans with: Invoke-WmiMethod -Namespace root\ccm -Class SMS_Client -Name TriggerSchedule "{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000113}" and Invoke-WmiMethod -Namespace root\ccm -Class SMS_Client -Name TriggerSchedule "{00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000108}"

You might want to also run full WSUS maintenance, reindexing the SUSDB, enabling IIS private memory recycling for WSUS app pools, and checking whether express updates or third-party AV/network inspection are slowing downloads.

Marcin

thank you for your help.

Believe me, I have checked all the logs on the client and run all the needed steps for Windows Update, SoftwareDistribition, Catroot2, GPO,

The WUAHandler.log

UpdatesDeployment.log

GetUpdateInfo - failed to get targeted update, error = 0x87d00215.

ContentTransferManager.log

CTMJob({07802E33-27C4-479E-9358-5967F41861A6}): CCTMJob::UpdateLocations - Failed find or get the reg value for Content_c434afeb-c2f6-412c-a038-851b5eff6cd9.1

Can you help please?

I run that script to rescan the SCCM Client and repair, it does not help sometimes, sometimes it help
