One problem we often encounter when using SCCM is the amount of logs generated and how to view the logs efficiently. One colleague mentioned that Microsoft has a tool to help you easily collect and view the logs. It’s called System Center 2012 Configuration Manager Support Center. Here are instructions on how to use the tools to view logs.
- Download the software from Microsoft
