Applications deployed on device based collection are missing from devices.
Hey guys, In my SCCM environment we are facing an issue. Its a co-managed environment where apps are deployed via SCCM. All of a sudden the apps deployed on Device based collection are not reaching the end user devices. The policies related to these app are also not reaching the device. The compliance status for these apps also went down even though if it is installed on the device the SCCM reports as Non-Compliant\Error. Has anyone faced this issue or can help me to identify what could be causing the issue.Existing required application deployments policy is not sent to devices
I have couple hundred applications in SCCM/MCM that are set to required and whenever there is a new device is built, all these required applications automatically get installed. I am on 2503 and 5 days ago i started seeing this issue. But if modify that deployment with current date and time then the application gets deployed right away if i run Application Deployment evaluation cycle. I also tested by deleting the existing deployment and created a new required deployment and run Application Deployment evaluation cycle then the application installs right away. The problem seems like the Primary server is not sending the policy to the client for existing deployments. The application compliance that we see for every deployment under Monitoring for all the devices moved to Error with Success. Not sure why this is happening. All these changes i noticed in the last one week. A week ago all these Already Compliant and Success status device count is under Success tab. Let me know if you have any suggestions.
SCCM software update install error 0x8007139F
While trying to install the monthly September patch Tuesday updates, e.g. 2025-09 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 24H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5065426) (26100.6584) and 2025-09 Cumulative Update for .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.8.1 for Windows 11, version 24H2 for x64 (KB5064401) would often fail on many machines with error code 0x8007139F. Every single time this would happen, the update will always install on a retry. That's if the issue happened at all, but it happened on around 60% of the endpoints this month in the test deployment group. It appeared to happen to both updates. Based on the error description, it states that the group. or resource is not in the correct state to perform the requested operation. I couldn't find any documentation of this issue for other people using SCCM. I already tried resetting windows update components, running sfc /scannow, and the DISM restore image command which all completed successfully, but nothing has fixed the issue so far. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
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.
Software Center Restart Loop
Hi, i have to devices that are stuck on reboot loop. the computer restarts then the restart count down starts again over and over. the computers are running the latest Windows 11 Build and they have the latest CM Client (5.00.9132.1011). i have done the normal troubleshooting process like CM Client repair, uninstall CM client and delete CCM, CCMSetup folders then install the client. run update evalution from CM Console and from the client. the only solution that i am left with is reinstall the whole system but that something i would do if there is no way out any input is appreciated
PKI certificate - Management Points IIS
Hi There I'm currently setting up PKI and was wondering in regards to the Configuration Manager IIS Certificate. I have two management points one on the Primary Server (e.g CMPrimary01.contoso.com) and another management point on another server (e.g. CMMP01). I do the following: On CMPrimary01 Expand Personal > Certificates Right Click Certificates > All Tasks > Request New Certificates Before you begin > Click Next Click "Active Directory Enrollment Policy" > Next Select CM DP Certificate and CM IIS Servers Certificate Under CM IIS Server Certificate click - More information required to enroll for this certificate. Click here to configure settings Under Alternative name, select Type = DNS, Value = CMPrimary01.contoso.com and CMPrimary01 and click add. Do I add in the DNS value as well CMMP01 and CMMP01.contoso.com> Do I need to add the certificates as well on CMMP01? THanksSCCM Remote Desktop capabilities
Hello, I've been looking into getting SCCM for our organisation. We currently have a Logmein subscription and wondered if SCCM's Remote Control solution will be a good alternative. We also have Office 365 Business Premium licences. What I'm hoping to achieve with SCCM: Remote access to local network devices (I've seen this work from clips online) Remote access to remote worker devices. (Devices connected to the domain / Azure AD, but not on the local network) When I'm accessing remote devices as the administrator, I need UAC access to install applications. Does Remote Control support UAC prompt window? The reason I'm asking, is I was potentially going to use Microsoft Teams with 'Share Desktop' to support end users. However, the UAC prompt window doesn't appear. I haven’t tested with Skype for Business? But I’m trying to get away from using it. OR could this be done with policies being pushed to the remote device? I would test this myself with the evaluation licence of SCCM. We’re in the process of upgrading our infrastructure currently, so I’m unable to install and test it myself. If anyone could point me in the right direction I would be most grateful.
