Many thanks for the replies.
So yes now I’ve had a break and come back to this I can now see the details of the machines connecting in through each provider (yes Andrew each Provider has it’s own log ;-) Yes am aware that this isn’t load balancing per se and I can’t direct connections to specific Providers but that’s fine – goal here is to try to minimse the impact of going through one Provide. David - I’ve looked for the Reg key you mention and can’t find anything that states which Provider the workstation is using, only the Server the Console is connected to. So looks like there’s no way of centrally being able to see who is connecting in through each Provider. Off to WMI to see if the Provider is stored in there ;-) Kind regards, Cliff From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Andrew Craig Sent: 28 Aug 2014 15:14 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [mssms] How do you know which SMS Provider is being used? I am pretty sure the smsprov log is unique to the smsprov server, so if you have a provider on another box and the console is connected to that box then entries appear in that smsprov.log and not on the other… The regkey that david mentioned is a far better way to find it out. Also, you know that the console-provider connections are non-deterministic? You can’t point consoles at specific sms providers, in a load balancing sense. But if you have a web service you can isolate the provider it uses.

There's akey under HKCU telling you which provider it uses. Already midnight here, so not at my lab, but you should be able to find it there...

Hi Sherry, I’ve been pouring over that as I’d expect it to say in there somewhere that Machine A is using Provider X but I’m damned if I can see anything even remotely like this, although feels like I can’t see the wood for the trees at times :( Cliff From: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Sherry Kissinger Sent: 28 Aug 2014 14:43 To: [email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> Subject: Re: [mssms] How do you know which SMS Provider is being used? I'm guessing one way to see that is to read smsprov.log Sherry Kissinger On Thursday, August 28, 2014 8:34 AM, Cliff Hobbs <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]> > wrote: Hi all, in an environment with multiple SMS Providers I know that CM chooses the Provider at the time you start for example the Console. Does anyone know of an easy way to see: 1. Which SMS Provider a machine is connecting to? 2. How many machines are connected to each instance of the SMS Provider? Many thanks in advance.
