This post lists all the SCCM management point logs. When working on management point issues, you should be aware of the log files. These log files help you troubleshoot MP issues.
A management point provides policy and content location information to clients. It also receives configuration data from clients. The SCCM clients use a service location process to locate site system servers.
The management point and distribution point roles are installed on the same server when you first start up SCCM. However, you can deselect the default options and split the management point and distribution point roles across different servers. Refer to the following guide to Install Management Point server in SCCM.
When you uninstall a management point in SCCM, you’ll still need to review the logs to determine if the role uninstallation was successful. You can find the MP log files at %ProgramFiles%\SMS_CCM\Logs\ on the MP if the MP was created before the client was installed. Otherwise, they are at %windir%\ccm\logs.
