SCCM Run Script not working

Question

Hello All,

We use the SCCM Run Script feature to run a PowerShell script against computers and collections in real time for a long time. The last I knew it was working correctly but from a couple of days I found out it did not work.

The Script execution dialog runs forever with nothing happening. It is stuck at the "Creating Client Jobs" stage. On the target machine, nothing is logged in the scripts.log. it looks as though the server is not creating the job. I have Full Admin rights on the SCCM box.

What am I missing? Is there any log on the server side that I can monitor?

Thank You.

Regards,
Trinadh Kola.

Hi All,

Broker is Enabled but In BGBServer.log I am getting errors

ERROR: Can't find the specified certificate in cert store My with cert hash EA4E0DAD73B610BC4A617E0B280B31A25CD2A447...

ERROR: Can't encode to get signature in a message without signing certificate

Receiving a message from queue timeout.

Retrieving push tasks from the database...

Can't start TCP listener for now

Wait 60 seconds to restart the TCP listener

But the SMS SSL Certificate is up to date and is not expired and the Client is communicating with the SSL Certificate I have checked location services, Client location, and Client ID Manager logs all are looking good and they are communicating with SSL,

Thank You,

Regards,

We could check Scripts.log on the side of client to see if any error in it, it records the activity of when Configuration Manager scripts run on the client.

And on the side of site server, we could check SMS_MESSAGE_PROCESSING_ENGINE.log, which the site uses to process results for client actions.

Besides, the error is very similar to the thread below, the links for your reference:
sccm-run-script-not-working
quotscriptsquot-stuck-at-quotcreating-client-jobsquot

In the both theads, we can see that the customer's reply below is waiting for a while for the problem to be resolved without any errors.

Answer 4

I have checked the required log file from the Client and server sides. No error was reported in the log files on the server. The client didn't receive any communication from the server in Script.log no messages were updated. at the initial stage, I assume it is a client issue but It is not for one or two machines.l On all the client's same issue.

Hi @Trinadhchandra kola ,

1, Please make sure the script is valid. Have you tried to execute this Script on a test client manually?

2, Please try to run another Script, Is the same result?

3, I did some tests on your question, the screenshots of scripts.log for your reference:

Looking forward to your feedback.
