SCCM Status Message Queries Frozen

Image
SCCM occasionally gets a backlog of Status Message Queries which causes it to freeze and stop processing new entries. This isn't something you'll typically notice right away, but if you go to look at Status Messages you'll notice they stopped at some point in the past. The first thing you can try is a simple restart of the SMS_STATUS_MANAGER  service. Open the Configuration Manager Console and go to Monitoring > Overview > System Status > Component Status. On the ribbon, click on Start  and then click Configuration Manager Service Manager.     Once Configuration Manager Service Manager  is open, scroll down to the SMS_STATUS_MANAGER  and highlight it. Right click on it and Query . Once it shows the status, right click on it and click on Stop . Wait a minute and then right click on it and Query  to verify that it stopped. Now right click it again and click Start . If your status messages start showing up again, you're good to go. If not, continue
