Just a quick one 🙂
If you’re like me you are too lazy busy to regularly check the component status of an SCCM Site Server for any issues, so why not get PowerShell to do it for you?
The code below will email an html-formatted report of any site components that are currently in an error or warning status, together with the last few error or warning status messages for each component. Run it as a scheduled task or with your favorite automation tool to keep your eye on any current issues. Whether you get annoyed because you now created more work for yourself, or get happy because you can stay on top of issues in your SCCM environment, I leave to you!
The report will display the components that are marked as either critical or warning with the current number of messages:
It will then display the last x status messages for each component for a quick view of what the current issue/s are:
Run the script either on the site server or somewhere where the SCCM console is installed, and set the required parameters in the script.

Thank you so much for this tool! I use it daily.
Something has changed for me recently, I get errors now in every component group. The first one is fine “components in a warning or error state”, but when I look at SMS_AD_SECURITY_GROUP_DISCOVERY_AGENT >> all are messageID 5354.
when I run the reports in the console, it works. But when I run it in IE11, I get the issue
Thanks for the feedback – I use it daily too! It’s still working fine for me, though – I’m not getting any errors. Do you get any visible errors when you run the script?
if I run line 261, it can’t seem to connect
