The inbox folders in the \inboxes subdirectory of the ConfigMgr 2007 install directory temporarily store files before they are processed to the site database or transferred to another site or site component. Monitoring inbox folders on a Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 can help you troubleshoot problems with different ConfigMgr components.You should periodically examine the Configuration Manager 2007 inbox folders for a backlog of files that wait to be processed, as this can indicate that a component is not running or is experiencing a problem.
Especially when deploying a large number of agents, or doing anything else likely to cause a burst activity, I am an inbox watcher. There are a number of VBScripts floating about that will do this, but it’s so much nicer in Powershell…only a single line.
That being said, watch the line wrap when you cut-and-paste.
Get-ChildItem “c:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\inboxes” -recurse | Where {!$_.PSIsContainer} | Group Directory | Format-Table Name, Count -autosize
NOTE: Update the path to the \inboxes folder to the appropriate value for your installation.
