Configuring High Availability for SCCM Management Point

Question

Hello,

How can I configure a second management point on my passive SCCM node to provide high availability in case the primary node goes down?

I already have an active SCCM server and a passive one, but I need more details on adding the second management point for automatic client connection in case of failure.

Hi, @AlinM-8839

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

Install multiple management points at each primary site and enable the sites to publish site data to your Active Directory infrastructure, and to DNS.

Multiple management points help to load-balance the use of any single management point by multiple clients. Also consider installing one or more database replicas for management points. This configuration decreases the processor-intensive operations of the management point. It also increases the availability of this critical site system role.

Secondary sites only support installation of one management point, which must be located on the secondary site server. Management points at secondary sites aren't considered to have a highly available configuration.
