You can also log to files and store the log files on a file share. I know of several who do that and use Splunk to create dashboards from the log files.

Anders, I’m correct that the only logging of results is via sql yes? Thanks Stuart On 15 Jun 2017, at 06:13, Anders Rødland <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi, I’m the author of this client health script, and I’m always happy to answer questions about it. I created it after we took in a new customer who had horrible patch compliance, less than 50% of their computers received patches. So we did an extensive investigation and came up with several root causes, and I implemented all of them into this script. The client health script checks if the computer is affected by any of those issues, and attempts to fix them if detected. Running this script on another customer significantly increased their patch compliance as well, so I thought this was worth sharing with the community. And that helped us back, because the community contributed with more fixes that I didn’t know about. To answer the questions asked: Logging to SQL database is optional and not required. You enable or disable it in config.xml as Damien explained. When it comes to the difference from this and Jason Sandy’s startup script, I may not be the right person to answer as I’m the author of one of them. But the way I see it, they are two different scripts trying to solve two different problems. His script focus on ensuring the health of the ConfigMgr agent, while mine focus on ensuring the health of the computer to ensure it can be patched. The health of the ConfigMgr agent obviously falls under this scope so you will find several of the same agent checks in both scripts. Now I have a lot of respect for Jason, and his script is brilliant and have been around a lot longer than mine. You really need to think through what your goal is before you consider replacing his script.

I've seen a lot of chatter about it, but haven't tried it yet. I'm wondering how it compares to Jason Sandys Configmgr startup script. It looks like it does quite a bit more, but is it a full replacement?

Hi https://www.andersrodland.com/configmgr-client-health/ I’ve been semi running it without the SQL changes. It seems to work pretty good but our team doesn’t want create a SQL DB and so on. I’m wondering if it’s safe to run if that part of it isn’t run.
