We have SCCM 2012 running on Windows Server 2008 R2 and it has been working great. Suddenly today PXE quit working and we found this error under Site Status: Status: Critical Site System Role: Management Point Total: 0 Bytes The Status Message Details alternates between these two errors: Message ID: 1104 Process ID: 2408 Thread ID: 4444 SMS Executive detected that this component stopped unexpectedly. Possible cause: The component is experiencing a severe problem that caused it to stop unexpectedly. Solution: Refer to your ConfigMgr Documentation or the Microsoft Knowledge Base for further troubleshooting information Message ID:5432 Process ID: 2408 Thread ID: 8404 MP could not write out CCM setting to WMI. Possible cause: MP didn't get installed properly. Solution: Ensure MP setup succeeded; if not, reinstall MP Also, under Component Status we found this error: Status: Critical Component: SMS_MP_CONTROL_MANAGER We are not sure if this is causing PXE not to work, or just a symptom of it not working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is there any way to rename a PC in SCCM? I work for a school system, and our naming convention uses school name and room numbers to keep track of PC locations and to build collections. Somtimes teachers will move a PC from one room to another and we would like to send a "rename job" to the PC to correctly name the PC. Example: Senior High Room A207 moves to Senior High A210. I need to rename SRA207xxx to SRA210xxx. Any suggestions without logging into the PC and doing it manually? Thanks, Matt
