MP healthy check

Question

I use the URLs to test whether a MP is working before we enable https mode without any issue:

http://<MPServer>/sms_mp/sms_aut?mplist

http://<MPServer>/sms_mp/sms_aut?mpcert

But I get an error with the url after I enable https, the error is access denied, any idea?

Hi, @Menta Elise

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

This is because the CM client uses a computer certificate to communicate with the management point but when you are using a normal user you don’t have access to this certificate.

We can specify a certificate to use by using PowerShell as an admin and running the command Invoke-WebRequest.

$cert = Get-ChildItem -Path "cert:\LocalMachine\My\<ThumbprintOfCert>"
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://<mp_server_name>/sms_mp/.sms_aut?mplist" -Certificate $cert
