KB3155482 for SCCM 1602
Microsoft released a new patch for System Centre Configuration Manager today (KB3155482) which fixes the following issues in SCCM version 1602.

- The DBSchemaChangeHistory table in the site database grows exponentially.
- Microsoft Intune and Mobile Device Management
- The Service Connection Point can take 30 minutes or more to recognize a newly added Microsoft Intune Subscription.
- Incorrect certificate data can be used to manage mobile devices which can causes this to fail
- The Service Connection Point may try and renew the wrong certificate if multiple certificates are installed and have the same expiration date.
- An “Invalid parameter to CIM setting” message is displayed when you try to check the baseline deployment status of a custom IOS or Mac profile.
