Site Version is past end of support - Sccm Endpoint Configuration Manager 2002

Hi there,

We have a notification in SCCM "site version is past the end of support." "Upgrade your Site" I am unable to dismiss this message

How do I get rid of this message please?

We are on Endpoint Configuration Manager 2002 and I don't think this message is valid yet.

We did migrate from another older SCCM 1710 version to a new server 2019 to this newer Endpoint 2002 version in June 2020, and the old SCCM 1710 has not been Decommissioned yet and is still online and on network due to some devices(probably in cupboards) not online yet and may show up in old console.

Anyway I want to find out if this is why we are getting the message on the NEW console maybe? Also if not, how do we get rid of this message. The service desk that also use the console do not need to see this and raise unnecessary questions please?

Hi WKruger-KIA,

Were you able to get this resolved? I too am having the same issue.

I suspect you will need to open a support case: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/configmgr/core/servers/manage/current-branch-versions-supported#:~:text=All%20support%20ends%20after%20the%2018-month%20lifecycle%20has,of%20the%20current%20branch%20versions%2C%20see%20Version%20details.

Alternatively... why are you, as a company, choosing NOT to upgrade? It is super easy to upgrade within the console, under Updates and Servicing (if you have the rights to do so, i.e., your helpdesk likely can't do so). Why has your company / your department chosen to not stay up to date, especially when it is super easy to do?

I also have some thoughts about your decommissioning strategy. I don't see the logic in "SCCM 1710 has not been Decommissioned yet" ? I'm assuming you mean there is a server or servers still connected in your environment, which although has no active clients on it at all, you fear there MIGHT one day be a box which appears magically out of a closet, and wants to report to that SCCM 1710 environment? That seems really weird to me. If there is a "machine appears out of a closet" scenario--hasn't that box been off the network for so long that it is no longer joined to the domain? so it needs WAY more work to get it to be a working device again, than just "can it see this old CM environment" ?

Hi Sherry,

Thank you so much for the answer.

Further more on your concerns about the 1710 SCCM on another server.

Yes it's still on the network and I agree on everything you expressed about, "why not upgrading" and "the Decommissioning" and "devices in cupboards etc." :-) It's not entirely just up to me when and how we do it. However, we are in the process of getting the 2002 to 2010, so I will see if the notification disappears after that.

I asked this question because I thought Microsoft have a tick box somewhere(that I missed) to disable notifications in case they appear 6 months before the actual due date.
