How to deploy Client Configuration Manager on 400 workstations step by step

Hi to all,

I would like to know  how to install SCCM Clients on 400 Workstations which no longer have it.Our netwok have 2250 workstations and 400 workstations don't have the SCCM client installed.How to create the deployment package?Or where to find it?

I tried to deploy it using the pushing methods.I've created a collection of workstations which don't have the client installed.theni tredthe pushing methods but no workstations received the clients.

Can i create a package on software distribution then deploy it to the collection?I know that it is not good for the network to deploy 400 workstations at once.

Thanks in advance for your suggestion.

Client push should work for you.. Look at the ccm.log to see why the CM07 setup is not working.

If the systems don't have the agent already, a package can't reach them as software distribution requires the agent first.

Here's a very nice and detailed article on troubleshooting client push: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/925282

Remember though, it's not magic. Certain pre-requisites must be in place like permissions and firewall ports. ConfigMgr can't just conjure some voodoo to make these go away.

You can also try using group policy to install the SCCM client. You can point it to ccmsetup on the client share on the MP.

SCCM client will not show in add remove programs.

If the client is installed, you can see Configuration manger applet in Control Panel, you can see CCMExec service in task manager. Verify the logs under C:\Windows\CCMsetup\logs.

you can read through this for different methods used for client install;

You may like to take note that successfully installed SCCM client does not mean that it is going to be successfully registered on the SCCM Primary Site Server.

In addition, you may like to check on the ClientIDManagerStartup.log to confirm the registration of the client after the logs mentioned by Venu is checked.
