Hello All, I am randomly seeing "Error initializing NAP Agent (0x800704df)." in the SMSSHA.log of our SCCM Advanced Client's. This is resulting to that the Windows NAP agent reports: "The Statement of Health Response received configuration for the following SHAs that are not installed on this computer: 79745" in the Network Access Protocol Event Log. The client is therefore not compliant and the client get's limited network access. When above error occur in SMSSHA.log it looks like that the SCCM Agent Host service is somehow faulty regards to SCCM NAP, as the SCCM Client is at that point not able to produce SoH. The SCCM Client stops writing entries to SMSSHA.log and CCMCCA.log as it seems that the "SCCM NAP Client Agent" part of the client is more or less shutdown inside the SMS Agent Host service. If I restart "SMS Agent Host", the SCCM Client starts writing entries to SMSSHA.log, CCMCCA.log and the SCCM Client produces it's SoH, where the client is remediated successfully and the network connection is fully restored. I have noticed that following HotFix is available: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/982203 Hence, we are not seeing the Event Log entries as reported in KB982203 when above initializing error occurs. Therefore I am wondering if anyone knows if above HotFix resolves this or if anyone has encountered this problem? Thanks for your great assistance. Best Regards Anders Horgen

Hence, we are not seeing the Event Log entries as reported in KB982203 when above initializing error occur I've not seen this error yet, but why don't you just install that hotfix on an affected client?Torsten Meringer | http://www.mssccmfaq.de

Hello, I should have mentioned (sorry that I forgot) when I try to upgrade the SCCM Client by running: sccm2007ac-sp2-kb982203-x86.msp, I get following error: ====================================QOUTE================================= MSI: Setup failed due to unexpected circumstances The error code is 80070659 Installation failed with error code 1603 ====================================UNQoute================================ Best Regards Anders HorgenBest Regards Anders Horgen

Hello Torsten, Thanks for your assitance. I just checked the log for this patch, and discovered: ============================ sccm2007ac-sp2-kb982203-x86.msp.log ============================================================ Property(S): SmsDetectDowngrade_ErrorMessage = A newer version of the Configuration Manager Client is already installed Property(S): SmsDetectColocationDowngrade_ErrorMessage = A newer version of the SMS Management Point is installed. Cannot continue installing this version of the client. Property(S): SmsMigrateQuarantineUpdateSchema_ActionText = Migrating content download schema. Property(S): SmsDetectUpgrade_ErrorMessage = An older version of the SMS Management Point is installed. Please upgrade the Management Point before attempting to upgrade the client. ======================================================================================================================== So it seems that I might either have installed another patch that may superseeds it or that it simply won't install due to version conflict with other SCCM patches. I have included following Client Patches. sccm2007ac-sp2-kb977203-x86.msp sccm2007ac-sp2-kb977384-x86-enu.msp sccm2007ac-sp2-kb978754-x86.msp sccm2007ac-sp2-kb2444668-x86-enu.msp Best Regards Anders HorgenBest Regards Anders Horgen

Search for "return value 3" in the log. The error should be listed a few lines above the occurance.Torsten Meringer | http://www.mssccmfaq.de

Hello Torsten, I have pasted more of the log below. This errors occours when the client already is upgraded with following patches: sccm2007ac-sp2-kb977203-x86.msp sccm2007ac-sp2-kb977384-x86-enu.msp sccm2007ac-sp2-kb978754-x86.msp sccm2007ac-sp2-kb2444668-x86-enu.msp or if you include the sccm2007ac-sp2-kb982203-x86.msp during the setup of the SCCM Client. I am able to install sccm2007ac-sp2-kb982203-x86.msp where above pacthes is not previously installed. ========================================================================================================== MSI (s) (9C!6C) [14:52:20:409]: Creating MSIHANDLE (57617) of type 790531 for thread 1900 MSI (s) (9C!6C) [14:52:20:410]: Creating MSIHANDLE (57618) of type 790531 for thread 1900 [14:52:20] ERROR: Attempting to install downlevel patch for feature CcmFramework.
