devices collections and active directory

[doctora]

I have my device collections checking once a day to update the devices from active directory. Over the last couple weeks it seems to have stopped checking or failing somehow. Is there a log file somewhere that I can check to see if it is even attempting?

 

Thank you in advance.

Check colleval.log in the %PROGRAMFILES%\Microsoft Configuration Manager\Logs\ directory

Thank you for your post

 

I do not have that log file.

 

I do have two log files under the AdminUILog folder. SmsAdminUI.log and CreateTsMedia.log

 

It is very strange I have 5 OU locations that I am monitoring and 4 are working fine and one is not. I have made no changes to Active directory structure or to SCCM.

I have done some more research on my problem and it is going to Active directory fine but it is not recognizing any new computers on Active directory. I know how to add them manually but I thought that it collected anything in the OUs specified even if they were not in SCCM yet. When I add them Manually In the Agent Name I get "Manual Machine Entry", The ones that are already in have agent name SMS_AD_SYSTEM_DISCOVERY_AGENT,MP_ClientRegistration,Heartbeat Discovery. I guess I am not sure how to discover new systems.

Hey there,

 

Are you 100% sure that the Active Directory System Directory is looking in the correct path/container? Did anything change recently with your AD structure? It's odd that it stopped working all of a sudden...
