Hardware Inventory Issue - Real time experience

ISSUE:

=========

Unable to get the hardware Inventory report from the client test1.contoso.com

CAUSE:

=========

->Checked on the SCCM server, under default client settings the Hardware Inventory was scheduled to run everyday on the client machine.

->As you have around 8000 clients reporting to the MP sccmsecondary.contoso.com, this can impact the MP.

->Customer agreed.

->Checked IIS logs with the client's IP address: 10.81.140.136, got BITS error BITS error : 501, 0x80070005. 501.0

RESOLUTION:

==========

->Scheduled the hardware and software inventory to run after every week.

->Went ahead and enabled the BITS Upload option under CCM_Incoming.

->Did IIS reset.

->Also, restarted the SMS_Executive server service.

->Monitored the MP_Hinv.log and found that it was showing a lot of movement.

->Monitored the issue for a day and found that the clients did report the inventory to the server.
