i found out what the problem was. it was an old version of SQL. once i upgraded the SQL i could then scan the system for updates with update manager.

Hi,

Which version of Update Manager are you using? Please go through the compatibility guide for VUM 4.0 to verify whether you are using the correct SQL Server version: http://www.vmware.com/pdf/vsphere4/r40/vsp_compatibility_matrix.pdf

You can generate VUM log bundle through Start > Programs > VMware > Generate Update Manager log bundle.

Thanks.
