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,

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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

    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.

  • 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.

  • Deleted computer object from SCCM console, so why is it still appearing in SSRS reports?

    We recently divested about 400 computers from our network. I got a list of these computers and deleted them from both Active Directory and in the SCCM Console. I know the deletes were successful because when I search via device name in the SCCM console
    they no longer show up. Yet when I run one of our inventory reports in SSRS I still see several of the devices that I deleted listed there. I thought SSRS represented a" live view" of the SCCM database. If that's true then how can a computer object
    that I deleted in the console still be present in the database? Is there something I'm missing? 

    Okay you are saying to select from v_R_System_Valid instead of v_R_System in my query and that will automatically filter out items I removed in the console? Okay that sounds like what I want, the only problem is my query is selecting form v_GS_COMPUTER_SYSTEM.
    Can I just add "_Valid" to the end of that and achieve the same result?
    Update - Yeah no I tried that and it did not work. Clearly I have a very limited understanding of the SQL views. Interestingly enough Torsten I see you posted a linbk on your blog to a new Microsoft article that documents the SQL views in SCCM 2012. Looking
    at it now...

    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 2012 Client was removed but SCCM console still showing the status as "Yes"

    Hi,
    In a VM, SCCM 2012 client agent was removed and the VM was reverted back to a clean machine. SCCM console still shows the status as "Yes" even after the client agent was removed. Heartbeat Discovery is set to run every 1 hour.
    Please guide on this.
    Regards, Lorin Davis

    It's kind like a person dying (sorry to be a bit morbid) -- how does the phone company know the person died? The dead person certainly can't tell them and the phone company doesn't query every person it services and ask them "are you alive?"
    Thus, someone else must notify them of the person's passing. This is no different than a client agent "dying" in ConfigMgr. A ConfigMgr site never initiates communication with clients and thus something else needs to tell the site that the client
    agent is dead. You! Or, an automated process (as Torsten mentioned) that goes through automatically marks a client as "dead" that hasn't been heard from in x number of days.

  • SCCM client uninstall from the SCCM console

    Hi All,
    Would it be possible to uninstall the SCCM client already installed on a workstation via the SCCM console?
    Or the only method would be via ccmsetup /uninstall ?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    You cannot uninstall the client from the console "out of the box". But if you modify the console you can add the feature. You can get the feature from the right click tools - http://www.myitforum.com/myITWiki/SCCMTools.ashx or from the Config Mgr Client Center - http://sourceforge.net/projects/smsclictr

  • 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.
