Migrate of SCCM Console connection

Hey,
I installed a second MP and additional SMS_Provider to one of my SiteServer to be able to connect via SCCM AdminConsole to it.
Unfortunately it is not working :P
What I already checked is the existence of WMI keys Root\SMS\site_<site code> with wmiexplorer and Remote Activation permission to site server and my new SMS_Provider server.My User has an assigned role and admin console version is supported
by site server (it is working if I connect to my Site Server).
Network connectivity is given, too (since I am running local on new SMS_Provider server)
I restarted the Site server the new SMS_Provider Server and the SMS_Agent Host & WMI service on both servers.
Please see SMSAdminUI log below:
[10, PID:3956][11/03/2014 17:21:13] :System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException\r\nProvider machine not found

Thank you for help in advance ( I am sure this must be a very easy thing I do not see currently :))

Hi,
Yes I know MP has nothing to do with Admin Console but this was what I did at once (whereas MP seems to work fine) - I just wrote to have you informed about the whole process which was done.
Well on newly installed SMS_Provider server I run the Admin Console and defined to connect to the FQDN of the new SMS_Provider server.
From my point of view in installation log of SMSP everything is (nearly) fine. :)
I received the following warnings and errors during the installation process:
WARNING: Failed to initialize COM to get SDK Providers. It might already be initialized. return code: 80010106.
ERROR: Site component Manager did not respond after one minute, giving up.
ERROR: Failed to stop service SMS_SITE_COMPONENT_MANAGER, Win32 Error =0
ERROR: Failed to stop SMS_EXECUTIVE, Win32 Error=0
ERROR: Failed to get SMS_Identification class object.
But none of them caused the setup to stop.
Thank your for help

SCCM console connection problem to SMS provider

I have installed sccm in the bolw deisgn for the lack of Cluster test environment. It is just to test SCCM HA.
SQL 2008 and SCCM 2012 Site server in two separate physical box(win 2008) and installed additional sms provider to another windows 2003 box. I am trying to connect the console installed on SQL box to new SMS provider(win 2003 box). It does
not connect. What could be the reason? Is it possible by technology at all or not? If it is, how could it be possible?
Thanks

Reporting Services in SCCM Console (Cross Connect)

Hi,
we have a cas - primary site setup and have a reporting point on our cas server.
when connecting to the cas server with the sccm console from a client i see all reports and all is fine.
when connecting to the primary site server and type in the cas server in the reporting services pane i see no reports.
i thought that's possible. i can open the .../reportserver website with the client of course.
thx
steffen

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

Hi Grath,
We ran a Site recovery, I checked the permissions on SQL server. Could not find the SCCM machine account in the SQL logins. Adding the SCCM machine account to the SQL logins solved the issue. As part of the recovery we only recovered the Site using the Site
backup. Have not touched the SQL server which is on a remote machine??
Anyways the login issue is resolved now.

Problem with Out of Band Discovery resulting with Out of Band features not available in SCCM console for computers with provisioned AMT device

Hi,
We configured the Out of Band component, but are using Intel SCS RCS to provision AMT devices remotely. The remote configuration process with Intel SCS works fine; we are able to connect to the AMT web UI and we can use a free KVM tool to manage the computer
remotely.
The AMT devices are configured with AD integration, so an object is created for each of them in a specific OU. Also, an AD group is added to the AMT devices so remote PT Administration permission is granted to it. This group includes the ConfigMgr Site
Server account, the account of the server running the Out of Band Service Point and my own user account.
This configuration seems OK since when connecting to the AMT web UI, I use Windows Integrated authentication with my user account and can manage the device successfully.
So the only step remaining is running the OOB discovery to enable Out of Band features for the computers in the SCCM console. We want to use the ConfigMgr OOB console. I right-click a computer or a collection and launch the AMT discovery. I check the OOB
server log, I don't see errors; the OOB service point connects to the AMT device and discover a status of 4, which is Externally provisioned, as expected. The problem is the AMT Status, AMT Version and Provisioned AMT fields for the computer in the ConfigMgr
console doesn't get updated, even after doing display refresh.
Here's the amtopmgr.log (I changed computer name and IP address information to protect client privacy) :

I found something interesting on this problem, it seems the OOB discovery process is working fine, but for an unknown reason, the site server is not receiving the information from the OOB Service Point to update the AMT Status of the client in the SCCM
database.
The log tells me that a DDR file is created to be sent to the site server. When looking into the SMS\MP\Outboxes\ddr.box folder, I see about 50 DDR files, the oldest one is dated when I started testing OOB discovery.
So the server is unable to send the files to the site server.
Also, since I started this thread, I noticed another issue that could be related to this problem. The same server is also holding the State Migration Point role, it is working fine, but when doing USMT operations, the status of the computer association is
not updated in the console (In Progress, Completed, missing USMT store path, etc.). When looking into the SMS folder on the server, I see a big backlog of SVF files containing information related to the SMP.
I looked into the log files, but didn't find the errors yet to explain this.
The computer account of the server is a member of the SMS_SiteSystemToSiteServerConnection_Stat_XXX group on the site server.
Note that status messages are being sent successfully, I see them in the Monitoring node of the console under Component State, and there is no backlog in the SMS\MP\Outboxes\statemsg.box folder.
Tnx for your help
Patrick

Sccm console

Hi,
In our environment, we have configured SMS provider role on server to have HA for SCCM console. After installing the console on server B , we are not able to connect to the site. Please error occurs

Hi,
Did you install an additional SMS Provider? or moved the existing one? can you log in the the Primary site server and start the console from there?
Adding an extra SMS Provider for HA doesn' really help as the SCCM admin console asks the Primary site server for which SMS Provider it should use, it will give you better performance and HA for non console activities against the SCCM site, as powershell
skripts e.t.c they can still run even if the Primary Site server is down.
Regads,

SCCM Console, untrusted forest

Hi,
I have a site system server with MP, DP in a untrusted forest. Is it possible to install SCCM console on it and connect back to Primary server?
I have checked all ports that are in the documentation https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh427328.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396 regarding "Configuration Manager Console" but I still cannot run the console. I have tried opening
SCCM Console with RunAs and a account in the Primary servers forest.
Does the MP, DP need to have firewall ports open to the Primary servers forests domain controllers and to authenticate ?
In that case what are ports needed?
/A

Hi Peter,
We want to have a console on each untrusted forest site system server to be able to manage the computers in the untrusted forest with Right-Click Tools and Remote Control. Because the untrusted site system server is on the network already, many firewall
ports all already allowed. We don't want to do it through the Primary because of the difficulty of opening for all firewall ports that are needed for remote tools.
Does that make sense?

Not Widely Deploying the SCCM Console?

Hello all -
We are in the process of implementing SCCM 2012 R2 and the company I work for is fairly spread out, with lots of geographically dispersed locations and IT staff. Ideally we were looking to not deploy the SCCM console to these folks, but instead find
ways to make the functionality work outside of it. A few examples are:
All needed Collections based off AD Security Groups (tested this works)
SCCM Remote Connection, pull out of the console (tested this works)
I had a few questions based on this scenario:
Is there any way to make the resource explorer accessible outside of the SCCM Console?
Do a lot of people try and extrapolate the functionality out of SCCM like we are, or do most people deploy and train on the console?
When we were just looking at the collections and remove connection, i'll admit that I was leaning towards not deploying the console. Once I found out folks needed the Resource Explorer I started to wonder if just deploying the console would be the best
bet. I am worried we will keep finding these scenarios and it may been beneficial to just go the route of the console from the beginning.
I appreciate any feedback. Thanks.

A couple of additional notes here. The console uses a "fat" RPC connection to the SMS Provider. This generally does not perform well over WAN links so if you truly have a very spread IT population of folks needing access to console, I highly
recommend you use an RDSH solution.
Next, resource explorer would be the last reason I would give anyone access to the console. It's a nice tool for sure, but you can get the exact same (and a whole lot more) information out of the reports. I'm not saying don't give them the console,
just that resource explorer is not all that useful at the end of the day and can easily be replaced by reports.

Remote SCCM Console

Hi, I have my SCCM console the other side of a firewall (hardware). I can telnet to port 135 from the server to the SCCM server (single server with provider, SQL and site) and yes the console and WBEMTEST will not connect. Are there opther port or other
things I need to configure in order to get this working?
I have configured DCOM and UAC is turned off.

Hi Paul
To establish a wmi/rpc connection you need to open all high ports. That's not very cool when you have a firewall between your server and console client. Then you can fix the second port TCP 24158. This meeans you need to run the command specified in this
article and restart the wmi service. Then you have to check, that Port 135 and 24158 is open trough the firewall.

SCCM Console on Secondary Site 2012 R2

Hi all,
I just want to ask whether it is supported or not when install SCCM Console on Secondary Site Server in 2012 R2? I've searched over internet but does not find a conclusion about that.
From technet SCCM Console requirement and interoperability, there is no information that restrict install console from Secondary Site Server, but this link say it is not supported:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/systemcenter/en-US/7c31b2d6-130c-46d6-b24d-108110cb0b61/install-sccm-admin-console-on-secondary-site-servers-failed-on-one-of-two-server?forum=configmgradminconsole
Has anyone try this, because today i installed console from one of my secondary site server and successfully connected with the primary site. Hope that does not break anything because with the ability of RBAC in 2012 R2, i can assign the admin at branch
site permission he need to manage the clients in this secondary site.
Thanks,

I've seen it working with multiple customer. Also, I can imagine that it wouldn't be a supported scenario, purely because it's not tested (both new installations as upgrades).
As, I'm not working for Microsoft and it's not documented, I can't give you any official statements.

You could literally answer every single question about SCCM with this answer.. Most people come here having actually already looked at many available resources and we still have questions. All you did was waste time typing this. Not sure how this ended
up getting the blue check mark. OP must be generous.

Is there a risk of setting a console connection timeout and what is the recommended setting?

Is there a risk of setting a console connection timeout and what is the recommended setting? Please suggest if there is any best prctice documentation that can be referred.

Hi Henrik
depend on what you need or what your security policy says for my lab gear i use 60 minutes. because i know how can access this. if you have gear outside in insecure space set it to a minimum or disable the console. everybody how can access your gear can break in. simple restart and boot w/o config. and you are in.
it realy depends how secure is your space and how much security you need.
and than the settings for policy have to match, what sec do you have if your console login and logout is secure. but when you restart you can simple break in by starting w/o config and than load it.

Sccm console on windows 8.1 - window display issue

I'm currently using a surface pro 2 with win 8.1 enterprise (sccm is 2012 r2). Overall the surface is a great piece of hardware. One problem that I'm having is that the sccm console doesn't properly display wizard windows properly. They
are cut off, horizontily starting at the entire cancel button and to the right. Some times it is a vertical issue, and I can't get to tall the options on a screen. Please see the SS for an example of both horizontal and vertical cut offs.
I had monkeyed with several setting on my profile, so I signed in with a different account that had no user profile on the machine....same issue.
It's frustrating that some things I need to do on a very regular basis I now have to rdp into the server in order to do. Has anyone else seen this and does anyone have any ideas for a solution?

Hi,
If I remember correctly that is a problem related to changing the Text Size to one of the below options.
Medium - 125%. This sets text and other items to 125% of normal size.
Larger - 150%. This sets text and other items to 150% of normal size. This option appears only if your monitor supports a resolution of at
least 1200 x 900 pixels.
If you change this does it work then?
