SCnotification.exe crashes and makes machine unusable

[mbandala]

Hello all,

 

I'm running into an issue with our VM servers that have the SCCM 2012 R2 client installed. The symptoms are that some servers become unstable, and cannot be RDP'd to. When logging on to those servers through a VM console, I see that the SCNotification.exe has stopped working. This message does not go away.

 

Server becomes responsive again only when the SCCM client is uninstalled.

 

MS support has only been pointing us to reinstall .NET due to a corrupt installation. But this has happened with multiple machines. I do not think a corrupt install has occurred on every machine.

 

If anyone has any ideas, it would be greatly appreciated!

Hi!

 

We had the same Problem. Check the user permissions on "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\Config\machine.config"

What pointed you to this issue, and how did you have to address it across a large number of machines?
