Cosmetic Issue with SCCM 1710 Service Manager GUI ConfigMgr

There is a cosmetic issue with SCCM 1710 and Hotfix Rollup KB 4057517 service manager. The Service Manager console GUI had a GUI bug in the SCCM CB 1710 version.

But it’s not fixed with the roll-up hotfix released recently. The KB 4057517 fixed 13 known issues, but it didn’t fix the service manager console cosmetic bug.

The same bug is there in SCCM Technical Preview version 1712 as well. There is no technical impact because of this issue, but it’s good to have a fix for this. Everything works as expected, but just a cosmetic problem.

I hope this will get fixed in the 1802 production version.

Where is SCCM CB Service Manager?

I have a post that talks about launching an SCCM service manager. More details “Where is Tools ConfigMgr Service Manager Option in SCCM Console”. The Service Manager console can be found from the SCCM CB console via “\Monitoring\Overview\System Status\ Component Status”.

Right-click on any SCCM components and click on Start – Configuration Manager Service Manager. Launching Service Manager from SCCM 2007 console was easy. But in SCCM CB, it’s hidden, as shown in the following screen capture.

What is the Bug with SCCM Service Manager GUI?

In a typical scenario, if we click on the LOGGING option from the Service Manager, we can see the related log file name and path for that component.

You can also set a new filename. With this bug, the LOGGING option doesn’t show the LOG file name and path. Instead, it just shows the DRIVE letter of the SCCM installation drive.

Configuration manager component logging – Single Component windows give the following options as part of SCCM troubleshooting. We can disable the logging for that component and check the log file name and size of the log file for that component.

  • Checked the box enabled – Logging Enabled
  • Log Filename – C (This is the BUG)
  • Log size (MB) – 15
