While looking through my site status messages this morning I noticed that there were a few warnings on regarding the sms_mp_control_manager. The warnings read as follows:
"MP has rejected a policy request from GUID:9F3837F8-8CDD-4DAD-AB30-21782FF953F4 because it was not approved. The operating system reported error 2147942405: Access is denied."
Well first thing that needed to be done was to find out exactly what machine belonged to this particular GUID.
Thanks to John Nelson for the following query.......I just modified it to allow one to place any GUID into the report via @guid.
SELECT
resourceID, netbios_name0, SMS_Unique_Identifier0
FROM
dbo.v_R_System
WHERE
SMS_Unique_Identifier0 like @GUID
After I ran the report and received the computer name I went to the 'All Systems' collection and sorted by the Approved column. To no surprise this particular computer was 'Not Approved'
After speaking with our OSD guy we realized that the machines that were set at 'Not Approved' were machines that he was dropping test images too. Since our environment is currently in Mixed Mode and as such do not rely on PKI certificates this is a non-issue.....until we go to Native Mode.
