Automatic SCCM Client installation not happenning

Dear All,

This is with regards to the issue i am facing in SCCM 2012 r2 CU3. My environment has 1 central server and 5 distribution point servers. The operating system of all the servers are windows 2012 r2. I have created the boundaries and boundary groups. All the systems are discovered from Active directory. The main problem for me here is while installing the clients i have to do it manually by right clicking the client and install from the SCCM console. Normally this should happen without any intervention. When i check in the ccmexec log it will be showing as sleeping.

I have done the configuration in the SCCM to install the client automatically, still it is the same.

Have anyone come across this issue.

Regards

Have you turned on 'Enable automatic site-wide client push installation' in the client push install properties?

Check the ccm.log on the site server for any errors.

Make sure that your client installation account has administrative permissions on your endpoints.

Hrrrm. We used a service account for client pushes/software update based installation. The account has local admin on all PCs, but it does not and perhaps should not have domain admin privileges.

That's fine. No domain admin needed. 

How are boundaries/groups set up? Are they used for site assignment?

ccmexec.log as mentioned in the original question is not the correct log file; as Paul notes above, it's ccm.log. Thus, have you actually checked ccm.log?

Also, when looking at resources in the All Systems collection (not the devices node) that do not have the client agent installed, do the clients show as assigned to the site code of the site?

Boundaries are created by showing the AD sites as well as IP subnets. I have created one Boundary group for AD, and 5 boundary groups with respect to 5 distribution groups and in each distribution group a particular boundary is specified.

What does the ccm.log say on the site server?
