What are SCCM Deprecated Features? (SCCM Removed Features )
The following is the official statement from Microsoft on SCCM deprecated features (SCCM Unsupported features/SCCM Deprecated Features).
A feature, a product, or an operating system will first be listed as deprecated. Support for using it with SCCM is scheduled to be removed in a future version of SCCM.
- Can’t use it anymore?
- Can you use it without support?
I would recommend not using any deprecated feature of SCCM (Removed Unsupported SCCM Features). But that doesn’t mean that unsupported SCCM client operating systems won’t work at all.
You can risk using some Deprecated features and unsupported operating systems for SCCM clients.
NOTE! – Some of the deprecated features will be removed from GUI, and there will be a hard block. Hence you won’t be able to use it.
Microsoft doesn’t guarantee these unsupported or Deprecated features of SCCM. You might be able to make it work, but you won’t get any support from Microsoft. They stopped developing that section of code in the product, but (I assume) still most of the code will be there in the product itself.
Some other deprecated features cannot be used after the end of the support date.
For example, SCCM CMG creation via traditional service deployment cannot be used by SCCM admins. Why? The options for this feature will be removed from the GUI itself.
NOTE! Make sure you start planning to move away from SCCM deprecated features (SCCM Unsupported features/SCCM Deprecated Features) as soon as possible.
Deprecated or Unsupported Features via SCCM Management Insights
Most of these SCCM deprecated features (SCCM Unsupported features) will be highlighted via SCCM management insights within the SCCM console. This notification is helpful for SCCM admins to fine-tune the SCCM environment.
Management Insights to Understand Unsupported Features
Following are some of the management insight rules about SCCM deprecated features (SCCM Unsupported features):
- Unsupported antimalware client versions
- SCEP for Mac and Linux end-of-support
- Old (non-CB) SCCM Client Versions
- Direct your user to the software center instead of the application catalog
- Use the new version of the Software Center

Good one Sir. So what should we do for application catalog. We removed the role. Alternative Sir?
Most of the features are available in the Software center itself. Are you missing some features of the application catalog that are not available in Software Center yet.
Hello Anoopcnair,
We get this. Where would I go about removing this from SCCM?
