Another article on a new script I wrote. This one is quick and simple. It will identify SMS Packages that have a source path set to a folder that doesn't exist. There's nothing really revolutionary here but I think it is something that SMS Admins should run periodically.

Next, I think I am going to work on a script to find SMS Programs/Packages that aren't tied to any advertisements. I'm guessing I'll have to grab all of the relevant info and then dump it into a database so I can run some queries on what I find.

If you haven't noticed, I'm doing a lot of work lately on trying to come up with some processes to follow or utilities to implement that will help to find any issues with SMS before you get a complaint call that something isn't working (or just some procedures to help keep everything in SMS as clean as possible). If you have some good tips I'd love to hear them so I can add them to my bag o' tricks! MOM is great for letting you know when something stops working but it seems like misconfigurations are a lot more common than true service outages.
