I'm troubleshooting some CAS issues with a computer that is not in our AD forest. The computer is on a subnet that is part of a AD site that's defined in our SCCM boundaries. After having issues downloading updates and seeing issues in the CAS.log, I added the subnet explicitly to our boundaries as a subnet. Will this cause any issues in SCCM since the ip range is part of our AD Site boundary?Orange County District Attorney

Are both boundaries in the same site? It's definately not a best practice but it MAY work if you have them both at the same site. John Marcum | http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/jmarcum |

it will work, as long as the two boundaries are not defined in two different sites.Kent Agerlund | http://scug.dk/members/Agerlund/default.aspx | The Danish community for System Center products

Yes they are. One of our AD sites, called DA-401 has several IP ranges defined in AD: 172.23.4.0-172.23.7.254 172.23.10.0-172.23.10.254 172.23.11.0-172.23.11.254 My other-domain computer is on the range 172.23.4.0-172.23.7.254 I thought that my CAS.log problems were because the machine didn't see a boundary for itself as it wasn't part of the AD site DA-401. So I created a subnet boundary of 172.23.4.0-172.23.7.254 Once done, the other-domain computer started downloading content. It feels good but will it cause issues down the line?Orange County District Attorney

It should not cause issue if those boundaries belong to the same ConfigMgr site.

The reason the machines aren't getting conent is because of the way the IP's are assigned to the AD Site. What Microsoft calls "supernets" (I say it like that because I disagree with the terminology they use) is not supported as boundaries in AD sites. You will have to break those out into IP subnet boundaries. Plus you can't have them in two sites. John Marcum | http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/jmarcum |

Fortunately I'm only dealing with a singe SCCM site in this case. Once I added the separate IP Range subnet as a boundary, by itself, the client starting pulling updates down within 2-3 minutes.Orange County District Attorney

Orange County District Attorney Just get rid of the AD site and list them out as ranges. John Marcum | http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/jmarcum |

Thanks for the tip - I'll take a look at doing this.Orange County District Attorney
