Client online status - Beginning in version 1602 of Configuration Manager, this status indicates if the computer is online or not. A computer is considered online if it is connected to it's assigned management point. To indicate that the client is online, it sends ping-like messages to the management point. If the management point doesn't receive a message in 5 minutes or so, the client is considered offline.
It's the "ping-like" phrase that worries me :) From https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sccm/core/clients/manage/monitor-clients From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Heaton, Joseph@Wildlife Sent: 03 February 2017 22:31 To: '[email protected]' Subject: [mssms] clients offline What exactly is SCCM using to determine that it needs to give a client the Offline icon? All of my secondary servers, except one, are showing Offline. I have tons of client PCs showing Offline. Some of these are legitimately turned off, or at least, off the network. But not my secondary servers. And not a lot of the client PCs. I can ping them, I can remote control them. Anyone know?
