Winlogon process closes unexpectedly during logon/ logoff with Stop error c000021a on Windows Embedded systems with the ConfigMgr Client installed

On my Windows Embedded systems that have the ConfigMgr Client installed the Winlogon process is crashing during logon/ logoff with Stop error c000021a.

Why does the “SMS Agent Host” service (Ccmexec.exe), stop running when BitLocker is enabled on a SCCM Client?

If noticed on my ConfigMgr 2012 R2 Clients that if BitLocker is enabled the SMS Agent Host Service (Ccmexec.exe), stops running and in some cases the Client computer restarts repeatedly.

On further investigations this seems to happen when I distribute a Program to the Client and the After Running Property is set to Configuration Manager restarts computer.

Why is ConfigMgr not displaying the items in my chosen language?

For some bizarre reason items in ConfigMgr aren’t appearing in the language I’ve configured but in English.

“CInvState::VerifyInventoryVersionNumber: Failed to load ClientState: 80070002”

I have a machine where the ConfigMgr Client has stopped working.

If I look in InventoryAgent.log I see the following:

Error while opening state file.
Loading the client state failed.
CInvState::VerifyInventoryVersionNumber: Failed to load ClientState: 80070002

Why are the values for my Client’s Assigned, Installed and Resident Site different?

I’ve noticed that when I look at the Properties of some of my Clients that the following Properties all have different values:

• Configuration Manager Assigned Sites
• Configuration Manager Installed Sites
• Configuration Manager Resident Sites

Is this right?

Why are my Windows Mobile 6.5 devices no longer receive Application Policies after the Site Server was upgraded from SCCM 2012 RTM to SP1?

I’ve upgraded my Site Server from ConfigMgr 2012 RTM to SP1.

However, since doing so none of my Windows Mobile 6.5 devices are receiving application policies.

Why when a user becomes a cloud-managed user does the settings policy not target the assignment for the user?

In ConfigMgr 2012 R2 when a user becomes a cloud-managed user, a settings policy may not target the assignment for the user.

Why does it take almost a day for my devices to execute a Retire or Wipe operation?

I’ve noticed that when I issue a Retire or Wipe command to my Mobile Device Management (MDM), devices that are managed by ConfigMgr 2012 R2/ Intune it can sometimes be almost 24 hours before the device actually receive and executes the command.

Is there any way I can speed this up?

“Not found , property = AllowPortalToHaveElevatedTrust” when trying to edit Client Settings

I am trying to edit some custom Client Settings.  However, when I double click the settings I get a Configuration Manager dialog box stating:

Not found , property = AllowPortalToHaveElevatedTrust

Clicking the Details >> button shows the following:

Not found

Why if my Linux Clients aren’t initialising is the scxcm.log still growing quickly?

If I look in the /var/opt/microsoft/scxcm.log I see:
