Troubleshooting SMS 2003 MP and SLP

This article provides methods to verify the operation of Management Points and Server Locator Points in Microsoft SMS 2003

Test a management point is functioning correctly:

• http://MP_Server/sms_mp/.sms_aut?mplist - This returns a blank screen if the MP is working correctly.
• http://MP_Server/sms_mp/.sms_aut?mpcert - This returns a hex string if the MP is working correctly.
• Use MPGetPolicy from the 'SMS 2003 Toolkit 2' to connect to the remote Management Point and verify policy is being retrieved correctly

Test a Server Locator Point is functioning correctly:

• http://SLP_Server/sms_slp/slp.dll - This returns 'Bad Query String!' if the SLP is functioning correctly
• http://SLP_Server/sms_slp/slp.dll?site&IP=%IPSubnet% - This returns XML output showing the relevant site code if successful
• http://SLP_Server/sms_slp/slp.dll?site&AD=%ADSite% - This returns XML output showing the relevant site code if successful
