Dear all,
I need your help in order to solve an client intalation issue, actually must of client (servers & desktops) installs properly, but I have an issues with same clients, in particular one of them when I lunch the push instalation as usual nothings happens
on the client side, no ccm folder created at system32, no folder on the root of C,nothing on logs.
I check on ccm.log on the server side and nothings that mentions the destination server.
I did check on the following url about all requeriments that are all ready in place for lcient push instalation:

Is the client assigned to the site? That is the only reason I know of the a client push won't be attempted and thus nothing will appear in ccm.log. The only other time I've seen ccm.log not show anything was fixed by thr installing a handful of post SP2

Do you have anything in the ccmsetup.log. Why not use a GPO instead? That way you ensure that clients are automatically installed when they restart.Kent Agerlund | My blogs: blog.coretech.dk/kea and

Have you look for a CCR file for that machine in the Inboxes\CCRRETRY.BOX folder on the Site Server?
Also, on a 64bit OS, the CCMSETUP folder may be in C:\Windows
The first thing I check is that an admin user can browse the C$ share on the failing client from the server. This verifies most of the issues (like security and firewall configuration) aren't a problem. The fact that you can't find the CCMSETUP
folder is likely to indicate that the server can't connect to the intended client at all. You should be able to find a CCRRETRY file for the client on the site server.
Also, you might just want to login to the client machine, copy the CCMSETUP folder over, and manually install the client. The command lines are easy and if it's only a few machines, a manual install is a shortcut you might consider.
