Hi Guys We have a problem here while deploying sccm clients to computers that belongs to a particular primary site server (PS3). We are running Mixed mode and Active directory already extended for SCCM. Also there is no firewall. We have tier 3 structure (SCCM SP2R2) as below CentralSite (CTS) Primary Site 1 (PS1) Primary Site 2 (PS2) Primary Site 3 (PS3) 60 Secondary Site (S01-S60) 60 Secondary Site (T01-T60) 60 Secondary Site (U01-U60) We are installing client through client push. It is reporting fine for PS1 and PS2 with correct site code but with PS3 it is either coming with site code of seconday sites or of Central site (CTS). Status of client says Yes and Approved but we are unable to deploy packages to PCs. Checking logs of one of the client under PS3 as follows: ClientLocation.log Getting Assigned Site 15/05/2010 10:50:24 AM 984 (0x03D8) Setting Assigned Site 17/11/2010 10:33:27 AM 5640 (0x1608) Assigning client to site 'PS3' 17/11/2010 10:33:27 AM 5640 (0x1608) Getting Assigned Site 17/11/2010 10:33:27 AM 5640 (0x1608) Client is currently not assigned to any site 17/11/2010 10:33:27 AM 5640 (0x1608) Removing client site assignments 17/11/2010 10:33:27 AM 5640 (0x1608) Raising event: instance of CCM_RemoteClient_Reassigned { DateTime = "20101117010327.624000+000"; LastAssignedSite = ""; NewAssignedSite = "PS3"; ProcessID = 2952; ThreadID = 5640; }; 17/11/2010 10:33:27 AM 5640 (0x1608) Client assigned to site 'PS3' 17/11/2010 10:33:27 AM 5640 (0x1608) GetCurrentManagementPointEx 17/11/2010 10:33:28 AM 2252 (0x08CC) Current Management Point is centralsiteserver.domain.NET with version 6487 and capabilities: <Capabilities SchemaVersion="1.0"> </Capabilities>. 17/11/2010 10:33:28 AM 2252 (0x08CC) GetCurrentManagementPointEx 17/11/2010 10:34:28 AM 2252 (0x08CC) Current Management Point is centralsiteserver.domain.NET with version 6487 and capabilities: <Capabilities SchemaVersion="1.0"> </Capabilities>. 17/11/2010 10:34:28 AM 2252 (0x08CC) GetCurrentManagementPointEx 17/11/2010 10:35:28 AM 2252 (0x08CC) ClientIDManagerStartup.log RegTask: Client is not registered.

Is there a default MP defined on PR3? have you configured client boundaries on PR3 site properly? verify hman.log and sitecomp.log on PR3 and make sure it is publishing the information properly on AD. Regards, Madan

Thanks Madan. Yes there is MP on PS3. I did mpcert,mplist and mpcontrol.log check and its responding fine. Both logs looks alright. Double checked bounderies for PS3. It includes all PS3 sites and is protected. Issue still persists?? Please advise ////Thanks hman.log showing all respective secondary site with correct info sitecomp.log Publish Servers in Active Directory.

What is the FQDN name for your PR3 site? Are the following correct? NetBIOS Name of PR3 site system: Primarysite3 FQDN name for PR3 site system: CentralSiteServer.domain.NET I'm suspecting that the fully qualifyed domain name for this server is wrong. Could you confirm. Regards, Madan

Thanks...Good pick NetBIOS Name of PR3 site system: Primarysite3 FQDN name for PR3 site system: Primarysite3.domain.NET i checked everywhere in DNS, configuration settings in console but it is correctly stated as above. I don't know why sitecomp.log is picking CentralSiteServer.domain.NET Can you please provide some information where it can be wrong? Thanks & Regards Veday Server Engineer

Bring up the properties of your site server in the ConfigMgr console (site settings -> site systems -> ConfigMgr site system). That's where you can enter an FQDN.

Hi, Correct the FQDN name as suggested by Torsten. PR3 site -> site settings -> site systems -> click on your PR2 server name and in the right hand side select ConfigMgr site system, right click and select properties. Here you can change the FQDN name. After you connected the FQDN, make sure the data is published again in the AD(watch Hman.log and sitecomp.log) Restart the client and see whether the problem is resolved or not.Regards, Madan

Thanks Torsten & Madan You were right on spot.. FQDN was incorrect. Corrected FQDN. checked sitecomp.log and is all good. But some strange thing happened. There were 144 computers were in collection out of which 104 computers were installed with client using client push before. Client were installed with status yes and approved but there site code was not of Primary site but of their secondary site itself. After this change, 104 computers disappeared from collection and only left with 40 where client was not installed before. These 144 computers were added explicitely to collection and not discovered using query. Again started installing client on few computers that were visible in console. ccmsetup.log reveals client is successfully installed but client status is No, not approved and with incorrect sitecode. Checked clientidmanagerstaartup.log. It is still coming up with as below: RegTask: Client is not registered. Sending registration request... 20/11/2010 8:43:11 AM 1420 (0x58C) RegTask: Failed to send registration request message. Error: 0x80040231 20/11/2010 8:43:11 AM 1420 (0x58C) RegTask: Failed to send registration request. Error: 0x80040231 20/11/2010 8:43:11 AM 1420 (0x58C) I am not sure, why those PCs suddenly disappeared from collection. Server Engineer

Please ping your management point server from your client machines and check the IP address of the MP is correct or not? Regards, Madan

Its seems to be all working now. It might be just timing issue after i changed FQDN. I should have waited for sometime. Thanks Madan and Torsten for your help. But Computers disappeared from collection after I changed to correct FQDN is still a mystery. :) Server Engineer
