ConfigMgr 2007 SP2 Status Message Documentation

!!!! UPDATE !!!!
I've created a table and view containing this data so you can use it in your reports without having to look up what messageIDs like 11708 means.  That article can be found HERE.

!!!! UPDATE2 !!!!
The original Excel spreadsheet said that %1 corresponds to InsStrValue = 1 and %2 corresponds to InsStrValue = 2, etc...however, because that index field is 0-based, %1 actually corresponds to InsStrValue = 0 and %2 corresponds to InsStrValue = 1, etc.  That should be fixed on v2 of the workbook.


I was graciously given access to some raw data for Config Manager involving the status messages and I've put together a spreadsheet similar to the one Microsoft provides for SMS 2003 HERE that shows the status MessageIDs and the corresponding descriptions.
This downloadable excel workbook (at the bottom) lists all status messages that are generated by System Center Configuration Manager (CM) 2007 SP2. You can find specific status messages by using the filters in the spreadsheet. You can filter messages by message ID, by severity (such as error messages, warning messages), by message source (the component that generates the message, like site control manager), by message text or by symbolic name (a short and descriptive meaning for the message which is much easier to understand at a glance than the whole message text).
Here's an example:


Download this Excel workbook and use it for troubleshooting or for in-depth learning of how ConfigManager 2007 SP2 works.
