How to verify Management Point is working fine in SCCM 2007

Verify Management Point Installation Logs

1. Verify MPsetup.log. Make sure MP is install successfully, if not resolve the problem. If you find any problem in MPSetup.log, then verify MPMSI.log for more information on the issue.

MPSetup.log:

2. Check IIS and make sure that you have virtual directory named SMS_MP under default website.
3.Check mpcontrol.log and find if you have below sucesses status message (Status Code 200). ( I use tracert32 to read log files)

Call to httpsendrequestsync succeeded for port 80 with status code 200,text ok
http test request succeeded

successfully performed Management Point avaialbility check against local computer

4. Fianlly for testing run this on IE from any client and from the server itself and you sould get the results mentioned.

  a) Run http://<MP Name>/sms_mp/.sms_aut?mplist

   This returns a list of MP's installed on this site including the secondary site MP's.

  b) Run http://<MP Name>/sms_mp/.sms_aut?mpcert

   This returns a long list of numbers and letters.

Output of Step a

- <MPList>
- <MP Name="smsserver1" FQDN="smsserver1.example.abc.com">
<Version>6487</Version>
<Capabilities SchemaVersion="1.0" />
</MP>
- <MP Name="smsserver18" FQDN="smsserver18.example.abc.com">
