  • Article

Applies to: Configuration Manager (current branch)

The Configuration Manager console provides the following ways to help you monitor operating system deployment objects.

Alerts for operating system deployments

You can configure an alert in the task sequence deployment settings to notify administrative users when compliance levels for the deployment are below the configured percentage.

After you configure the alert settings, if the specified conditions occur, Configuration Manager generates an alert. You can review task sequence deployment alerts at the following locations:

  1. Review recent alerts in the Operating Systems node in the Software Library workspace.

  2. Manage the configured alerts in the Alerts node in the Monitoring workspace.

Task sequence deployment status

After you deploy a task sequence, you can monitor the deployment status. Use the following procedure to monitor the deployment status for a task sequence.

To monitor deployment status

  1. In the Configuration Manager console, click Monitoring.

  2. In the Monitoring workspace, click Deployments.

  3. Click the task sequence for which you want to monitor the deployment status.

  4. On the Home tab, in the Deployment group, click View Status.

Tip

  • When an upgrade is initiated, status message 52200 is generated. This contains the user that did the upgrade.
  • Starting in version 2203, you can perform client notification actions, including Run Scripts, from the Deployment Status view.Use the right-click menu on either a group of clients in a Category or a single client in the Asset details pane to display the client notification actions.

Operating system deployment reports

There are many predefined operating system deployment reports available. They are organized in several categories and can be used to report on specific information about state migration and task sequence deployments. In addition to using the preconfigured reports, you can also create custom software update reports according to the needs of your enterprise. For more information, see Operations and maintenance for reporting.
