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, Thank You for your response.

I have tried to run it on the test machines but the script is not receiving it. In the script log, it is showing old dates only (2 Months back date).

Not getting any communication for the latest scripts.

Thank You.

Perhaps you can check out bgbserver.log refer to the following thread. See all comments from xerexs2985 users in the comment section. Is it similar to this thread, with the same error in bgbserver.log?

Hi @Trinadhchandra kola ,

1, Have you tried created and run a simple script? Is the same result? Is it convenient to share the script to discuss together? Have you tried to run script in Power Shell on the client computer?

2, Have you installed any antivirus software and changed your firewall? Please try to turn off all firewalls on a test machine for test.

3, CMPivot, Scripts and Client notifications all use the fast channel. Which means any actions will be listed in the BGBServer.log, please check it.
Navigate to C:Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\Logs...

3, What SCCM version are your using? I did some research about your question. I found a similar case which mentioned in the article this may cause by the SQL Broker was broken. Please run following SQL query on SQL Server Management Studio to confirmed it.

> SELECT is_broker_enabled,is_honor_broker_priority_on FROM sys.databases WHERE name = 'CM_xx

Both should be set to 1. The screenshot for your reference:
