Thought experiment
Client monitoring at Contoso
You are the Configuration Manager administrator at Contoso. You are concerned
that a number of client computers that Configuration Manager manages at your
organization are either inactive or regularly failing client health checks. With this
information in mind, answer the following questions:
1. How can you determine which clients have failed client health checks?
2. How can you determine which clients in a collection are inactive?
Objective summary
The System Center 2012 R2 Configuration Manager client agent runs a scheduled task
to evaluate its client health status.
If the client fails to send its status message to a management point, it will then send
the status message to a fallback status point if one exists in your hierarchy.
The Client Health evaluation engine is an executable file named CCMEval.exe. This
engine can perform health checks by using rules and can automatically rectify some
configuration problems through a process termed remediation .
You can run the Configuration Manager Health Evaluation process on demand by run-
ning CCMEval.exe as required. Client health evaluation and remediation is only avail-
able to Windows-based computers.
Objective review
Answer the following questions to test your knowledge of the information in this objective.
You can find the answers to these questions and explanations of why each answer choice is
correct or incorrect in the “Answers” section at the end of the chapter.

waiting for it to occur at the scheduled time. Which of the following files would you
run to accomplish this task?
