System Center 2012 Configuration Manager sites
and hierarchies require regular maintenance and monitoring to
provide services effectively and continuously. Regular maintenance
ensures that the hardware, software, and the Configuration Manager
database continue to function correctly and efficiently.
Each Configuration Manager site supports maintenance tasks that
help maintain the operational efficiency of the Configuration
Manager database. By default, several maintenance tasks are enabled
in each site, and all tasks support independent schedules.
Maintenance tasks are configured individually for each site and
apply to the database at that site; however, some tasks, such as
Delete Aged Discovery Data, affect the information available
in all sites in a hierarchy.
For more information about planning for site maintenance, see
the
Planning for Maintenance Tasks for Configuration Manager
section in the Planning for Site
Operations in Configuration Manager topic.
Use the following procedure to help you configure the
common settings of maintenance tasks.
