Microsoft SCCM RAP provides results in two areas Health Issues and Risk Issues of the SCCM CB infrastructure. The health issues reflect problems regarding the configurations in the infrastructure, and this also checks the proper function of SCCM and its related components.

One of the most common health issues in the SCCM environment is site assignment boundary conflicts. This type of issue could give you a bad rating in Microsoft SCCM RAP engagement. I would also recommend to FIX the health issues related to SCCM MPs, DPs,  SUP, and other SCCM components.

One of the most common and highly rated RISK issues is the lack of documentation of the SCCM environment. Other risk issues could be the lack of SCCM DR documentation, and the lack of SCCM infra monitoring using SCOM or OpsMgr.

Tips from the Real-world to Keep SCCM Infra Healthy and Risk-Free

Run the Microsoft RAP tool 2 weeks before and identify the issues in your SCCM CB environment. Fix the problems highlighted in the RAP reports and rerun the Microsoft SCCM RAP tool 1-2 days before the PFE visit.

Microsoft PFE will be onsite for 2 days. Try to RESOLVE the issues of your SCCM environment with Microsoft PFE on the first day.  This will give you good results for Microsoft RAP. Also, this will help you to have a better SCCM environment.

Another important perspective of Microsoft RAP engagement for SCCM is operational processes followed in the organization. Take the Microsoft RAP questionnaire seriously, and the wrong answers to the questions could give you bad scorecards. You can retake the questionnaire survey if you think, you had given false answers to some questions.

Microsoft RAP tool is free for one year, and you can rerun the tool many times within that one-year time frame. To keep SCCM CB infra healthy and risk-free, I recommend to run the RAP tool every 3-4 months and look at the reports. This will help you to understand the SCCM environment in a better way.
