SCCM Clientservicing log file details

Here is an explanation about clientservicing.log file in SCCM. Microsoft recently came up with a new client servicing endpoint for facilitating client auto-upgrade or piloting.

Clientservicing.log file helps deliver the client deployment state messages only. If the client agent is upgraded successfully at the end it will just write the state message to WMI.

This endpoint will pick up to try delivering to Management point server and fall back to FSP only when the client wasn’t able to assign/register. This can help to improve the reliability and latency of the deployment state messages. The log file is for this component.

The clientservicing log file is located under \Windows\CCM\Logs folder path.
