Connection Point Server Disconnected
Hello I am new to SCCM and just noticed the issue shown in the screenshot. The screenshot is from the Admin console connected to our SCCMMEM host. We have a SCCMDP01 and 02 hosts as well. I have verified that all three can ping each other and access the internet. The three hosts are on on prem. I would be extremely grateful for some advice to troubleshoot the issue shown in the images. As far as I can tell there's no impact, so I'm confused about the meaning of the error and how to fix. It was Connected, and has changed to Disconnected at some unknown time...Re-Join SCCM Client to Intune for Co-Managed join Type
Hello, I have been using SCCM for a long time, I have it is setup for Co-management, and all my workloads are moved over to Intune. I have a few clients that for one reason or other have not been added to Intune. I can get them onboarded, but the join type always ends up Intune. I am trying to find out the correct recipe to reenroll an SCCM client to Intune. I have tried uninstalling the SCCM client and reinstalling. I have tried removing registry keys for Intune to ensure it joins again. I have used DSREGCMD to leave and join back. I have completely removed from Domain and deleted from Intune. I have tried combinations of all of these things together. I have yet to come up with a specific order to do them in. I still think there is some remnant that is preventing a rejoin. Does anyone have details that help me to get systems to rejoin via SCCM? Some may say what is the difference. The difference is there are tools that are not present if the Join type is incorrect. Best regards and thanks.
Migrate from SCCM 2012 R2 SP1 to Current Branch
Hey folks I am planning to migrate my System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager SP1 to the most recent Current Branch of System Center 2025, because the old version is still running on an old windows server version and we need to upgrade to a new windows Server 2025 and also the most recent current branch of configuration manager. Now the documentation for upgrading Configuration Manager https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/intune/configmgr/core/servers/deploy/install/upgrade-to-configuration-manager states, that upgrading from 2012 is only supported until Current Branch 2203; from 2303 on, you can't do the upgrade anymore. But since this "Important-Warning" message isn't shown on the migration article for Configuration Manager https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/intune/configmgr/core/migration/migrate-data-between-hierarchies I am wondering if this only applies to upgrading configuration Manager on the same host? Or does it also apply to the scenario where I do a side by side migration (Install latest windows server on a new VM, install latest Current Branch of Configuration Manager and then do a migration via data gathering and migration job). You would help me a lot, because I can't find official info about it and I am very concerned about not being able to do the migration from 2012 to Current Branch 2503.. :( So if it also applies to migration; I can still do migration to 2203 as described in the "migration" article with the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_0EwW-5b4E and then do an inplace upgrade from 2203 to 2503?
Access collections information locally
Is there a way through WMI/Microsoft.SMS.Client comobject to access information from the computer if is in a collection (cached information or otherwise)? I'm not sure if a computer gathers that information somewhere. I can't access that information on the site server or through the AdminService as the account running the commands would be the SYSTEM account. My goal is query if a computer is in a collection and install a piece of software through a task sequence.
MECM OSD TS Application Installations fail randomly to download content.
We are experiencing a persistent and well-documented issue with MECM OSD Task Sequences where Applications randomly fail to install after the MECM client has been installed. This behavior seems to affect many environments and has been an ongoing problem for years, yet a definitive solution remains elusive. In our case, we have over 30 Applications included in the OSD Task Sequence. Despite implementing all commonly recommended mitigations—such as inserting an additional restart after the MECM client installation and including a two-minute delay before the Application install task group begins—we still encounter random failures. The issue is not limited to any specific Application; it can be any one of the 30+ Apps, and the failure to download appears to occur entirely at random. Occasionally, most of the Applications install successfully, and only one will fail, which subsequently causes the entire Task Sequence to fail with the same error. Importantly, all of these Applications install without any issues post-OSD, further confirming that the problem lies not with the Applications themselves but with the process during the Task Sequence. The randomness of which App fails also suggests an underlying process, feature, or timing issue—not an App configuration problem. We have thoroughly validated all related infrastructure settings: Boundaries and boundary groups have been triple-checked. No boundary is assigned to multiple groups. Site system assignments are correct. We are using PKI certificates and HTTPS, and the client authentication certificate is present on the device at the time of failure. The issue has been replicated across both Windows 10 and Windows 11, ruling out any specific cumulative updates or OS version anomalies. No additional language packs are being installed—only language fallback is applied via the "Apply Windows Settings" step. One suspicious observation is the lack of any reference to our local Distribution Point in the LocationServices or CAS logs during failure events. Initially, this pointed to a possible boundary misconfiguration, but after multiple checks, no issues have been identified. Unfortunately, we are unable to use the common workaround of converting Applications to Packages, due to internal policies and deployment requirements. Therefore, we need to resolve this while continuing to use Applications in the Task Sequence. Given the number of years this issue has persisted across customer environments, it's surprising there isn’t more formal guidance or documentation available to help isolate the root cause. If anyone has encountered a similar scenario or has any advanced troubleshooting tips, we would greatly appreciate your insight.
Problem with running TS OSD from Windows
Hello everyone. I have a problem that I can't solve for a long time... This trouble is happening during with only running TS OSD from Windows (step - Restart in Winpe). If booted from PXE - works ok. I having trouble with a particular model (Acer Veriton Vero B650). There is no problem on many other different models. UEFI. Bitlocker and antivirus disabled. Windows 11 x64 ltsc 2024. SecureBoot enabled or disabled - does not matter. All drivers added to boot.wim Maybe someone has encountered something similar. Could you please explain the mechanism of deployment not from PXE, but from Windows, or help to find out the reason for the impossibility of TS OSD running from Windows (step - Restart in Winpe). apparently the error occurs at the stage of saving bcd
