I'm doing fresh install of SCCM 2012 primary site and encountered one problem with management point. The installation went OK, but now I get errors once an hour in Application event log:

       Event 5436, SMS Server

      On 5/9/2012 12:50:17 PM, component SMS_MP_CONTROL_MANAGER on computer MGMT3.mydomain.local reported:  MP Control Manager   detected management point is not responding to HTTP requests.  The HTTP status code and text is 404, Not Found.

There're no 404 errors in IIS log. MPcontrol.log has following records:

Call to HttpSendRequestSync failed for port 80 with status code 404, text: Not Found  $$<SMS_MP_CONTROL_MANAGER><05-09-2012 14:10:17.770+420><thread=5136 (0x1410)>

I pushed an agent to one client PC, but its Client Check status shows "No Results", agent doesn't collect software inventory and never updates Endpoint Protection definitions. Tried to uninstall\re-install MP role, but it didn't help.

Please advise how can I resolve or further troubleshoot the issue.

Without a woking MP, clients cannot communicate with the site.

Please review mpsetup.log and mpmsi.log to see if there were any error during the setup of the MP.

Are the webservices running. Could you verify if your MP is responding?  Check how to verify that:

As Jason already said, clients cannot communicate with the site without a working MP

Sorry to hijack this thread but i thought i would be better to than create a new one...

I also have a problem with the Management Point Role on a SCCM 2012 CU1 deployment.

The deployment has the following characteristics:

1. Single Primary Site Server environment with remote DB and Reporting Services. 
2. WSUS local.
3. All agents internet based. 
4. Certs working fine. 
5. Software deployment, reporting etc working fine.

Problem: 

Management Point will install but produces this error every hour:

SMS_MP_CONTROL_MANAGER on computer SCCMPS01.domain.local reported:  MP Control Manager detected management point is not responding to HTTP requests.  The HTTP status code and text is 404, Not Found.

Possible cause: Management point encountered an error when connecting to SQL Server. 
Solution: Verify that the SQL Server is properly configured to allow Management Point access. Verify that management point computer account or the Management Point Database Connection Account is a member of Management Point Role (msdbrole_MP) in the SQL Server database.

Possible cause:  The SQL Server Service Principal Names (SPNs) are not registered correctly in Active Directory
Solution:  Ensure SQL Server SPNs are correctly registered.  Review Q829868.

Possible cause: Internet Information Services (IIS) isn't configured to listen on the ports over which the site is configured to communicate. 
Solution: Verify that the designated Web Site is configured to use the same ports which the site is configured to use.

Possible cause: The designated Web Site is disabled in IIS. 
Solution: Verify that the designated Web Site is enabled, and functioning properly.

Possible cause: The MP ISAPI Application Identity does not have the requisite logon privileges. 
Solution: Verify that the account that the MP ISAPI is configured to run under has not been denied batch logon rights through group policy.

For more information, refer to Microsoft Knowledge Base article 838891.


Also there is no data under the MP installation Folder.

I have:
1. Removed and reinstalled the MP Role
2. Ensured required access to DB (Server account)
3. Checked the SPN regsitration
4. Checked to make sure the default web site is set to listen on port 80

Any ideas?

Many thanks.

Bump.... any ideas?

Management Point will install but produces this error every hour:

Is this only happening ONCE per hour? Is the MP working before and after that event? mpcontrol.log might also show additional details.

SCCM 2012 CU1 with SQL 2008 R2 +Sp2 on Windows Server 2008 R2 +Sp1

Odd...I am seeing the same problem...It is intermittent though...sometimes every 5 minutes it occurs for about 30 minutes, then is okay for several hours, then it goes back to the same problem...

Errors are:

Call to HttpSendRequestSync failed for port 80 with status code 500, text: Internal Server Error SMS_MP_CONTROL_MANAGER 11/28/2012 3:50:11 PM 11880 (0x2E68)

Http test request failed, status code is 500, 'Internal Server Error'. SMS_MP_CONTROL_MANAGER 11/28/2012 3:50:11 PM 11880 (0x2E68)

Successfully performed Management Point availability check against local computer. SMS_MP_CONTROL_MANAGER 11/28/2012 3:50:11 PM 11880 (0x2E68)

Keeps doing the above errors.

Check out CU2 (released yesterday). I think it addresses this issue which was introduced with CU1. Not sure if any of this applies to slackers though :-)

Will do, Thanks Jason!

Hey,

Check WEBDEV configuration in IIS. I had come across such HTTP request issue. Post reconfiguration of WEBDEV it started working.

If you have used MS scan tool. Make sure you revert all the HTTP Request changes back to normal.

If you are using MS URLSCAN tool search for rlscan. file and revert HTTP chages back to original.

The IIS WebDAV component is *not* used in ConfigMgr 2012 so this will provide no value.
