Remote SCCM Client Support Center Tool

SCCM support center tool helps to connect remotely to SCCM client devices. This support center tool when you have an appropriate communication channel opened between the remote client and the machine from where you are running the support center tool.

Support Center helps to reduce the challenges when troubleshooting SCCM client devices. Previously, when working with support to address an issue with SCCM clients, you would need to manually collect log files and other information to help troubleshoot the problem. It was easy to forget a crucial log file accidentally, causing additional headaches for you and the support personnel who you’re working with.

  • Use SCCM Support Center to streamline the support experience. It helps you:
    • Create a troubleshooting bundle (.zip file) that contains the SCCM client log files. You then have a single file to send to support personnel.
    • View SCCM client log files, certificates, registry settings, debug dumps, client policies.
    • Real-time diagnostic of inventory (replaces ContentSpy), policy (replaces PolicySpy), and client cache.

PowerShell SCCM Support Center

There are three PowerShell commandlets supported by SCCM Support Center or Configuration Manager Support Center. You can use these powershell cmdlets to create a remote connection to another SCCM client, to configure the data collection options, and to start data collection.

SCCM Integration with Azure Log Analytics with OMS Connector

You can connect your SCCM environment to Azure Log Analytics (OMS) to sync device collection data. The SCCM OMS connection helps to create reference the device collections in Log Analytics and Azure Automation. In this video tutorial, you will see how to configure SCCM Azure Log Analytics.

SCCM Azure Log Analytics

Step by Step SCCM Azure Log Analytics Integration

With the above video guide, I will help you to integrate SCCM and Azure Log Analytics. The following steps will help you to understand the process of connecting SCCM with OMS (Azure Log Analytics).

Something you need to take care before integrating SCCM Azure Log Analytics (SCCM and OMS). Microsoft announced Desktop Analytics integration with SCCM. So make sure the roadmap of OMS connection with SCCM is still required or not.  

  • Login to the Azure portal with appropriate access rights to integrate SCCM with Log Analytics.
  • In the Azure portal, register SCCM as a Web Application and/or Web API app, and ensure that you have the client ID and client secret key from the registration from Azure AD. See Use portal to create an Azure AD application and service principal that can access resources for detailed information about how to accomplish this step.
  • In the Azure portal, grant SCCM (the registered web app) with permission to access Log Analytics.
  • In SCCM console, add a connection using the Add OMS Connection Wizard.
  • In SCCM, update the connection properties if the password or client secret key ever expires or is lost.
  • Download and install the Microsoft Monitoring Agent on the computer running the SCCM service connection point site system role. The agent sends SCCM data to the Log Analytics workspace.
  • In Log Analytics, import collections from SCCM as computer groups.
  • In Log Analytics, view data from SCCM as computer groups.
  • You can read more about connecting SCCM to Log Analytics at Sync data from SCCM to the Microsoft Log Analytics.

The following prerequisites should be in place to convert MSI packages to MSIX and test those MSIX packages.

  1. Purchase public cert – code signing certificate or Internal PKI cert or self signing cert
  2. SCCM 1810 Infrastructure
  3. Windows 10 1809
  4. SCCM 1810 or later installed on Windows 1809 or later
  5. Windows 1809 or later with local admin access
