Symptom

1. Updates published using Lenovo Patch are not showing up in All Software Updates within the Configuration Manager console.
   OR
2. When you are about to publish updates via Lenovo Patch, you see a message, Some of the selected updates may not synchronize.
   
   
   
   Click for details will show a list of updates you are attempting to publish that 'may not synchronize with the current Software Update Point configuration.'
   
   

Cause

1. You have not performed a synchronization with the WSUS server.
2. In the Lenovo Patch plugin, you will need to manage the product subscriptions. In Configuration Manager, you need to update your Software Update Point to ensure you're syncing the package classififcations.

Solutions

There are two possible solutions.

1. You need to ensure you've successfully performed synchronization with the WSUS server.
   
   You may just need to perform the sync, or there may be a problem during the synchronization process that is causing the failure.
   
   Refer to the wsyncmgr.log from

   C:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\Logs.

2. In the Configuration Manager console, the Software Update Point will need to be updated to ensure WSUS and Configuration Manager are syncing the Updates classification and the appropriate products are enabled correctly.
   
   To check the Update Classification setting:
   1. In the Configuration Manager console, navigate to the Administration workspace.
   2. Navigate to Site Configuration > Sites.
   3. Right-click on the primary site > Configure Site Components > Software Update Point.
   4. Click on the Classifications tab.
   5. Ensure the Updates classification has a check mark in the box.
      
      
   
   
   6. Click the OK button to accept the settings and close the dialog.
   
   To check the Product settings:
   1. In the Configuration Manager console, navigate to the Software Library workspace.
   2. Navigate to Software Updates > Lenovo Patch > Updates.
   3. Click on the Manage Products button on the ribbon bar.
   4. In the Manage Products dialog, expand vendors and ensure there is a check mark next to any newly added products.
      
      
   
   
   5. Click the Subscribe button.
   6. After the Subscribe action completes, click the Synchronize button.
   7. Click the Close button on the Manage Products dialog to close the window.
