I keep getting endless Wraning messages under the SMS_MP_CONTROL_MANAGER MP has rejected a policy request from GUID:8C60C911-7B1E-4E4C-9406-122B3DFF2C1B because it was not approved. The operating system reported error 2147942405: Access is denied. Is this a problem I should be aware of and should be looked at? Thanks!

Hi, Apparently there is a client which wants to talk to the MP but it is not approved. The following query will help you identify the system with the GUID which is mentioned in the warning: select SMS_Unique_Identifier0, Name0 from V_R_System where SMS_Unique_Identifier0 = 'GUID:xxx-xxx-xxx-xxxxx-xxxxxx' Replace the x's with your GUID Follow me through my blog and Twitter!

On top of Jannes answer, you can also create a collectio to list all unapproved clients. Just remember that a client must be approved in the clients assigned site. select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System inner join SMS_CM_RES_COLL_SMS00001 on SMS_CM_RES_COLL_SMS00001.ResourceId = SMS_R_System.ResourceId where SMS_CM_RES_COLL_SMS00001.IsApproved<>'1'Kent Agerlund | http://scug.dk/ | The Danish community for System Center products

Both of the above answers are accurate but neither mentioned how to approve the client once you find it. ;-) You can only approve client manually from the site which the client is assigned. Once you find the client using one of the methods above (I'd use Kent's since you need to see the client in the console) just right click and approve it. Just make sure you are connected to the console on the clients parent site. You can do multiple clients at once as long as all selected machines are assigned to that particular site.

Thanks, the collections and manually approved fixed it ! But on the side question On my site setting, I have "Automatically Approve Computers in trusted Domains (Recommneded)...." Should I be worried if they are not getting approved? I have around 20 computers showing unapproved, If your saying it has trouble connecting to my MP, there must be a issue somewhere i guess....
