This week I've been rebuilding my ConfigMgr lab in preparation for demos at MMS 2019. Last night I added the Cloud Management Gateway. I had all the prerequisites in place. I had my certificates already and the CNAME for my external domain was configured. You can read about the certificate and CNAME requirements here
All looked good with the CMG.
There were no errors in the CloudMgr.log file.
The Azure Cloud Service had been created.
My first hint of a problem was the CMG Connection Point status, which remained Disconnected. I figured it was time to run the trusty CMG Analyzer. It's brilliant for pin-pointing where the issue is.
Oops - a lot of errors there.
First one - Failed
to connect to the CMG service. Unexpected response status code is
NameResolutionFailure. For more information, see SmsAdminUI.log.
Configuration
version of the CMG service should be 4.
Failed to get CMG
service metadata. For more information, see SmsAdminUI.log.
Connection status of
CMG connection point 'ConfigMgr.GH.LOCAL' is 'Not Connected'. Routing to
primary site 'GH1' may not be fully functional. For more information, see
SMS_CLOUD_PROXYCONNECTOR.log on the CMG connection point.
Failed to test the
CMG channel. Check SmsAdminUI.log for more details.
Let's have a look at the log files.
The SmsAdminUI.log file doesn't help very much.
Neither does the SMS_CLOUD_PROXYCONNECTOR.log file. There is nothing there to help me.
So what was the first error again? Failed to connect to the CMG service. Unexpected response status code is NameResolutionFailure.
I previously configured a CNAME record so I didn't quite understand that.
That was the problem - no CNAME record.
This is a test domain and someone had been messing around with the DNS records. The CNAME record had been deleted. I added it back.
Then the CNAME lookup was successful (this took about 8 hours).
The CMG Connection Point connected with no further action from me.
The CMG Analyser then executed perfectly. We're back in business.
I hope this helps. Until next time.....
It looks like your management point is not available. Have a look at the component status for further information.
ReplyDeleteHi Gerry, Getting similar errors but only 2 components.
ReplyDeleteConfiguration version of the CMG service should be 9.
Failed to get CMG service metadata. For more information, see SmsAdminUI.log.
&

no errors in logs anywhere.
Hi Gerry! I'm having the same error but we didn't actually configured any CNAME in our DNS servers, it is a mandatory setting? I was told that this DNS name should be set automatically by SCCM.
ReplyDeleteThanks!!
It's mandatory.
ReplyDeleteHi Gerry, thanks for sharing. Some dudes removed the DNS entries (internal and external). Cheers, Al
ReplyDeleteDo we need to do external entry only or internal also.
ReplyDeleteYou only need the internal DNS entry if the internal and external domains are the same.
