SCCM Console Notification Option in Action for ConfigMgr OLD vs New | Configuration Manager

Let’s concentrate on the Console Notification Option in Action for ConfigMgr 2010 | ConfigMgr. In the ConfigMgr console, you can receive Push Messages.

After installing ConfigMgr 2010, I received a notification alert in the SCCM console. In this post, I share my first experience with notification.

The 2010 version makes the notifications more readable and the action link more straightforward. The notification’s age is displayed to help you find the latest information.

You can dismiss or snooze a notification. That action is now persistent for your user across consoles.

How to Enable ConfigMgr Console Notification Option

I have explained how to enable ConfigMgr console notification in the blog post here.

  • Navigate to \Administration\Overview\Site Configuration\Sites
  • Select the CAS / Standalone Primary server site
  • Right-click on the site server – select Properties
  • Click on the Alerts tab to enable push messages in the admin console
  • Select the following options, which are given in the table below:

Check Console Notification

You can check the SCCM console notification just below the close button. To access the ConfigMgr notification alert, click on the bell icon in the console.

It also details the number of notifications available for you in the console. In my first experience, I saw only one notification.

The notification action link option is useful to perform the actions directly from the Admin console notifications.

  • Click on the bell icon to see the notification details.
  • New custom console extensions are available.
  • Click on the Hyperlink Install custom console extensions to get this installed.

The below notifications are reevaluated every 5 minutes.

  • The site is in maintenance mode
  • The site is in recovery mode

The RBAC configuration is respected for the notification. If you don’t have access to perform some actions, those notifications won’t be shown to you in the console.
