3 Reasons Why SCCM Community Hub is Deprecated in 2023
The SCCM Community Hub is deprecated in the ConfigMgr 2023 release, and I will explain three important reasons why the community hub feature was removed from Configuration Manager.
The community hub was a place in your SCCM console where you and other administrators could share useful objects such as CMPivot scripts, console extensions, etc. If you have been using the community hub at your work or were a contributor, you’ll surely miss this useful feature.

The community hub feature was available starting with Configuration Manager version 2002 and later. The goal of this feature was to make it easier for users to find the CMPivot scripts, console extensions, and reports that IT administrators had added in one place: the Configuration Manager console.
I am going to share few reasons why the SCCM community hub is deprecated. But first, let’s look at the announcement made by Microsoft on removal of community hub feature.
Announcement: Community Hub Removed in ConfigMgr version 2023
Microsoft will discontinue the Community Hub feature starting with the Configuration Manager current branch version 2023. The removal of the Community Hub feature was first announced by Microsoft in October 2022, and it will take effect with the release of ConfigMgr 2023.
It is unfortunate that the Community hub, which was used by many IT administrators, will no longer be a feature in the ConfigMgr console. Microsoft shared the below update in their Community Hub documentation.
SCCM Community Hub is Deprecated in ConfigMgr Version 2023 Release
The community is upset about Microsoft’s announcement regarding the deprecation of the community hub. Prior to the community hub removal in November 2021, the asset intelligence feature of Configuration Manager was deprecated. The majority of us are dissatisfied with the Community Hub’s removal from SCCM and the fact that there is no replacement in the works. Scripts, console extensions, reports, or any other helpful materials you may have added to the community hub are now lost.

I frequently used the Community Hub feature at work. I have used it to download and install the Right Click Tools extension for SCCM, many useful scripts, and mostly important ConfigMgr documentation. The community hub supported the following objects in the console:
- CMPivot queries
- Applications
- Task sequences
- Configuration items
- Configuration baselines, including child configuration items
- Baselines with software updates or version-specific references aren’t supported
- PowerShell Scripts
- Reports
- Power BI report templates
You have to agree with me on this point: With any software or a tool, you don’t use all the features that it offers. You utilize the features only when you require it. Similarly, with Configuration Manager, not every one used the community feature, but when required, we surely did.
I have invested a lot of time in fixing the community hub issues since its inception and published several useful guides. These guides have helped numerous admins in resolving the community hub issues. But it’s sad to see SCCM Community hub is deprecated and there is no replacement announced for it.
