Future of SCCM ConfigMgr Admins?
In this post, I would like to share Microsoft’s internal SCCM admin’s new roles and responsibilities based on Brad’s podcast mentioned below.
SCCM is becoming a core business-critical system(so as SCCM admins) which includes Antimalware, patching, and managing access policies(Conditional Access policies via Intune) toget the mail access and critical data access of your organization.SCCM admins are empowered with new capabilities and responsibilities in your organization.
How to start learning SCCM/ConfigMgr/ MSintune
I do think the future is verybright for SCCM admins.Whenyou think from a broader perspective, SCCM admins are becoming a more integral part of a company with a Corebusiness-critical system.
SCCM admin’s profile will not be limited to patching and application deployment (as critics say – but we know we do a lot more than that). The ITCPodcast Part 2by Brad Anderson and Kelly Pranghofer provides more insight into this issue.
So Microsoft is continuously listening to the SCCM community and responding to our worries. Microsoft is already deployed SCCM 2012 SP2 with Intune in their environment, as I mentioned in mypost here.
Now things are getting centralized via SCCM, and SCCM Admins aregoing significantly influential individuals in eachorganization. Keep learning SCCM admins, don’t stop learning SCCM/Intune. More help regarding learning SCCM here.

Hi Anoop,

Can you please check the mpcontrol.log and other logs in SCCM 2012 server to check whether the MP and other components are healthy?

MPControl.log says “200 OK” or something else ? Date and Time. I would suggest you to restart the SCCM server after taking necessary approvals. That may help to fix the date issues which you can see in the logs also I may expect some help towards entire troubleshooting of SCCM issue

Check for “return value 3” in the *.msi.log file. 2 or 3 lines above the that error you would be able to see the actual cause of the issue
Also, please use FB forum to post your questions https://www.facebook.com/groups/ConfigMgr2012
