SMS Provider Error

I got the above-mentioned error when I was performing the upgrade of SCCM 1910 to 2002. The installation of ConfigMgr 2002 was going through the “Installation” phase. I was monitoring the progress of installation from the Monitoring workspace.

I tried to look into SMSPROV.log “Records WMI provider access to the site database.” from out SCCM Logs. I couldn’t find much useful information apart from some connectivity errors. The only error I was able to find was SQL Connectivity Errors.

I tried to start the console again and tried to connect to the database. But, the console connection to ConfigMgr Database is failed. What is next?

FIX – The SMS Provider Reported an Error

The fix to the SMS provider error in my scenario was to restart the problematic primary server. After the restart, the magic happened.

  • After the restart of the problematic primary server, the ConfigMgr 2002 connection to the Database was ok. And working fine.
  • SCCM 2002 installation continued from where it stopped because of an SMS provider error.

  1. That is not an installation issue, is just a console behaviour during the installation. We had the issue right now upgrading from 1810 to 1910.

    If you check the CMUpdate.log from the Primary site you will see that the installation continues without issues, after a couple of minutes you can open the console and see in the installation status that where no such errors with the upgrade.

    Restarting the SMS Provider during the installation can cause issues.
