SCCM Server System Role Sizing Constraints

SCCM Server System Role Sizing Constraints

ConfigMgr 2012 R2 stand-alone primary server supports all site system roles on the same server, decisions to which role and how many are required within the stand-alone ConfigMgr 2012 R2 site depends on the number of devices the server will manage and features the site will support.

The following information about the support limits of each client-facing site system role.

Management Point Each primary site management point can support up to 25,000 computer clients and up to 10,000 Mac computer clients.

Distribution Point Individually, each primary site supports up to 250 distribution points and each distribution point can support up to 4,000 clients.

Software Update Point A software update point that is installed on the site server can support up to 25,000 clients. A software update point that is installed on a computer that is remote from the site server can support up to 100,000 clients.

Fallback Status Point Each fallback status point can support up to 100,000 clients.

Application Catalog Website Point Each instance of this site system role supports up to 50,000 clients, which provides service for the whole hierarchy.

Application Catalog Web Service Point Each instance of this site system role supports up to 50,000 clients.

SCCM Clients are not showing up in collection in Primary site

Problem:

==============

Clients are not showing up in collection in Primary site, Information:

================

1.     Central site's site code CEN

2.     Primary site server's site code = 'P01'  site with issue.

3.     A few more primary site, working fine.

Troubleshooting:

================

·         You informed he had to reinstall SCCM site in P01.

·         He now he can't see computer in a particular collection.

·         This collection was created in Central site.

·         Its a query based collection that pulls up clients based on OU membership.

·         We went back to P01 site and found the ADGroup discovery is not enabled.

·         And OU membership information is pulled with ADgroup discovery.

·         We enabled ADgroup discovery in P01,

·         It took about 10 minutes and showed completed in ADgrpdis.log

·         However when we updated the collection membership it showed only 67 clients.

·         We checked and found the client is there in all systems collection of P01 site.'

·         We checked the query and pulls information depending on OU and must be active.

·         WE found clients are active.

·         We decided to run query directly in WMI.

·         We went to Run and put "WBEMTEST" on P01 site sever

·         That opened up WMI tester

·         WE connected to "root\sms\site_<sitecode> and opened up Query and ran the query that was in Collection properties.

"select

SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSU

niqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from

SMS_R_System where SMS_R_System.SystemOUName =

"CORP.IRCO.COM/INDTECH/AGS/WORKSTATIONS" and SMS_R_System.Active = 1"

 

·         We could see about 856 Clients.

·         We updated the collection membership found 327 clients there as well.

·         In central site we could see about 340 clients however some client could be old.

·         We could also see clients getting advertisements.
