How to Create a Fallback Status Point in Configuration Manager

The fallback status point receives state messages from Configuration Manager 2007 clients when they fail to communicate with a management point. The state messages sent to the fallback status point provide administrators with information about client status.

Preparing for the Fallback Status Point

The fallback status point site system must have Internet Information Services (IIS) configured to accept incoming messages using the site-wide HTTP port using anonymous HTTP communication.

The fallback status point site role should not be co-located on an existing management point, or to any other site server that accepts messages from client computers that require HTTPS communication.

Use the following procedure to create the fallback status point:

To create the fallback status point:

  1. In the Configuration Manager console, navigate to System Center Configuration Manager/ Site Database /Site Management/ <site code> - <site name> /Site Settings/Site Systems

  2. To launch the New Site Role Wizard, right-click the server that will be assigned the fallback status point site role and then click New Roles.

  3. On the General page of the New Site Role Wizard, specify the following information:

    • Intranet FQDN: Specify a fully qualified domain name for intranet-based clients to communicate with this fallback status point. This configuration is recommended, but not required.

    • Internet FQDN: Specify a fully qualified domain name for Internet-based clients to communicate with this fallback status point. This configuration is required if you want to support Internet-based client computers.

    • Select an account to use to install the fallback status point. If no Windows domain user account is specified, then the site server computer account is used.

    • Click Next to continue.

  4. On the System Role Selection page, click the check box next to Fallback Status Point and then click Next.

  5. On the Fallback Status Point page, specify the following information:

    • Confirm that the option Allowed client connections displays the correct setting for the site system's server placement and configuration:

    • Allow intranet-only connections

    • Allow both intranet and Internet client connections

    These options are set automatically and cannot be directly changed by the administrator.

    • Number of messages: Specify the number of state messages that the fallback status point can process within the specified throttle interval.

    • Throttle interval (in seconds): Specify the throttle interval in seconds. Only the specified number of state messages will be processed during this interval.
