Improve the Health, Performance, and Security of Your SCCM Infrastructure

Is your Microsoft Configuration Manager (SCCM/MECM) environment running as efficiently as it should?

Over time, SCCM environments can accumulate outdated configurations, unnecessary deployments, infrastructure issues, and performance problems. These issues are not always visible during daily operations but can affect client health, software deployments, patch compliance, and overall reliability.

At System Center Dudes, we provide a comprehensive SCCM Assessment to identify potential issues, review your existing configurations, and provide practical recommendations to improve your environment.

Our consultants review your SCCM infrastructure using Microsoft best practices and years of hands-on experience managing enterprise environments.

What’s Included in Our SCCM Assessment?

Our assessment covers more than 38 technical checkpoints across the main components of your SCCM infrastructure.

1. SCCM Infrastructure Health

We review your SCCM infrastructure to identify configuration issues, unhealthy components, and potential performance problems.

• Management Point and Distribution Point configurations
• Site system roles and server configurations
• Boundary and boundary group configurations
• SCCM version and update status
• Site maintenance tasks
• Component errors and critical warnings

2. SCCM Client Health

Healthy SCCM clients are essential for reliable software deployment, inventory collection, and patch management.

• Client installation and communication status
• Active and inactive clients
• Outdated SCCM client versions
• Hardware and software inventory issues
• Client assignment and communication problems
• Client health monitoring and remediation

3. Software Updates and Patch Management

We review your existing Software Update Point (SUP) and WSUS configurations to identify issues affecting patch compliance.

• SUP and WSUS health
• Software update synchronization
• Automatic Deployment Rules (ADR)
• Software Update Groups and deployments

4. Application and Content Management

We review how applications, packages, and content are managed across your environment.

• Unused or obsolete applications
• Content management and distribution optimization

5. SQL Server and SCCM Performance

SQL Server plays an important role in SCCM performance and reliability.

• SQL Server configuration and version
• Database maintenance
• SQL performance and resource utilization
• Database backup configuration
• SCCM database growth and storage
• SQL-related performance recommendations

6. Security and Administration

We review administrative configurations and identify opportunities to improve security and management.

• Certificates and HTTPS configurations
• Service accounts and permissions
• Infrastructure security recommendations

Common Issues We Find During SCCM Assessments

Here are some examples of issues our consultants regularly identify:

• SCCM clients that haven’t reported inventory or communicated with the Management Point for several weeks.
• Distribution Points with failed content distributions or incorrectly configured boundary groups.
• Devices missing several months of Windows cumulative updates.
• Automatic Deployment Rules that are incorrectly configured or no longer functioning.
• Outdated SCCM versions, unnecessary site system roles, and missing database maintenance tasks.
• Collections, deployments, and applications that are no longer used but remain active.
• SQL Server performance issues affecting SCCM operations.

Some of these problems can remain unnoticed for months while affecting the reliability of your environment.

What Will You Receive?

At the end of the assessment, we provide a detailed technical report, typically 20–30 pages, depending on the size and complexity of your environment.

Assessment Deliverables

• Detailed SCCM infrastructure health report
• Results from more than 38 technical checkpoints
• Identified configuration issues and potential risks
• Recommendations based on Microsoft best practices
• Prioritized remediation actions
• Infrastructure optimization opportunities
• Review meeting with our SCCM consultant to discuss the findings

Our goal is to provide clear, actionable recommendations that your IT team can use to improve the environment.

What Happens After the Assessment?

The assessment is designed to identify issues and provide recommendations. Remediation work is not included in the standard assessment.

If you need help implementing the recommendations, our consultants can assist through a separate time bank or consulting engagement.

These hours can also be used for other SCCM or Intune tasks, including troubleshooting, configuration, upgrades, and knowledge transfer.
