I did a site recovery, it seem to work (saw thw site boundaries etc...)it seems to be reporting computers getting updates thru monitoring > also workstations show active and inactive. However I pushed out a apckage to a few workstations and for 2 days now it didnt install it's just shows "in progress" I checked the logs on the client and server side and really cannot find anything. I can't figure out whats

Something seems to be broken in your environment as you already posted a similar problem here: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/cef4318e-85a3-4a3c-8dfc-6c7f52d9b0ce/software-center-question?forum=configmanagergeneral#df1b3f5d-90d8-49f4-815b-38cf11b3008c. What logs have you examined so far? What does execmgr.log tell for example?

May i know what log files have you checked from the server side ?

That log nothing current and the locationservices.log showed this on 05/31 but nothing current -

I checked EVERY log on the sccm server an dfound nothing.

On the workstation the InventoryProvider log has this -

on the workstation this is all that I found...

It's almost impossible to help if there are no (obvious) errors are showing up. Where to start troubleshooting then?

Good question I wish I had an answer...

Also putting old laptops that been off for awhile don't grab the new updates like before.

Just got an idea i'm forcing a PC that has been off for awhile to get the updates this is what I'm getting -

[LOG[Failed to receive expected response from server with error 80090304.]LOG]!><time="12:57:45.258+300" date="06-03-2014" component="BgbAgent" context="" type="3" thread="1296" file="bgbconnector.cpp:209">

I think I found something in sccm monitoring on my may updates on workstation on the error tab is reporting "Access is denied" for error description. error code 0X80070005.

OK, on which log you've seen this access denied error? Sorry I didn't go through entire thread. So I would suggest first check whether the clients are able to communicate MP or not (locationservices.log). Check the policyagent.log to confirm whether the client is able receive the policies. Next is to check whether the client is able get the list of DPs from MP so that it can download the content (locationservices.log, CAS.log and more details in the following article)

Go step by step....as mentioned in the post below.

I saw access denied in the sccm consel >Monitoring > Deployments >like my May2014 deployment >view ststus for error >error tab and in there is shows 2 workstations failed to update >error code 0X80070005 access denied

on one of the workstations that had access denied in the locationservices.log I found this -

[LOG[LSGetLookupMP: Unable to find any lookup MP(s)]LOG]!><time="08:46:22.010+240" date="06-04-2014" component="LocationServices" context="" type="2" thread="4268" file="lsad.cpp:2485">

On one of the workstations that i deployed the package to in the execmgr.log this is all it says

[LOG[Raising client SDK event for class CCM_Program, instance CCM_Program.PackageID="BSC0000C",ProgramID="TWAIN Deployment", actionType 1l, value NULL, user NULL, session 4294967295l, level 0l, verbosity 30l]LOG]!><time="06:39:00.039+420" date="06-04-2014" component="execmgr" context="" type="1" thread="5196" file="event.cpp:405">

and it also says "In progress" like it says in sccm consel in monitoring.

Yes, I know this is an old post, Im cleaning up old post, did you get this fixed, if so what was the solution?

Since no one has answer this post, I recommend opening  a support case with Microsoft Customer Support Services (CSS) as they can work with you to solve this problem.
