We upgraded from SCCM 2007 to SCCM 2012 in March of 2013. The update went rather well and all computers that had the old 2007 client successfully upgraded to 2012. Our current configuration is one Primary Server with no Secondary Servers. Within the last month or so, two of our servers became INACTIVE in the SCCM console - both of these servers are Windows 2003 Server, one is 32 bit and the other is 64 bit. The 32 bit Windows 2003 Server is going to be retired soon, so that's the server I did my troubleshooting on. What I found on that server was in the Configuration Manager in the Control Panel, all tabs show blank white windows, even thought it used to have the same information in it as the other servers that aren't having the issue.
The General, Components, Actions, Site, Cache, and Network tabs have absolutely no information and are blank. When I click on the Site tab and click on Find Site, it successfully finds my Primary Site Server and I get a message that Configuration Manager has successfully found a site to manage this client, but when I click Apply, I get an error message that Failed to update site assignment and the site code stays empty.
Since this server was being retired soon, I removed the client and tried to push it again. Well, since I removed the client, no matter what I do I cannot get the client to reinstall again. I checked the 64 bit Windows 2003 Server and it exhibits the exact same issues - the Configuration Manager is blank and I cannot update the site assignment or anything else. I have attempted to push the client to that server again as well but it doesn't install or fix any issues.
I am hoping someone has an idea that I haven't tried yet. I initially thought it was a WMI error, so I did all the necessary steps to get WMI working again. Even with that, I cannot get the Configuration Manager to populate with any information.
Any thoughts are appreciated. I can't unjoin/rejoin to the domain or anything as these are production servers - the first one is just getting close to retirement but it isn't there yet.
Thanks in advance.
