Howdy,

I've read a bunch of articles on how to install SCCM on a workgroup computer but it doesn't seem to be working for me.

We have a couple machines on our network (same IP range as everything else) but there are simply not joined to our domain.  We want to manage their Antivirus and patching via SCCM like we do everything else.

I logged in as a local Admin and navigated to our SCCM Server via the FQDM and logged into it with my Domain account.  I don't know if that's a problem that I had to login or not...  I was able to navigate to the client folder and then do a Open Command Prompt Here command to get to a CMD window

I used a couple various technet pages and tried a commands such as:

CCMSetup.exe FSP=sccmserver.mydomain.com
CCMSetup.exe /mp:sccmserver /logon SMSSITECODE=001

The CCMSetup.exe program showed up in Task Manager for a few seconds and then just went away.  The machine never shows up under Devices in SCCM.

I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong or if we have something configured incorrectly.  Any help or direction on where to look to find what the problem might be would be great.

Thanks!

Did you follow the documentation here :https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712298.aspx#BKMK_Manual


If it doesn't work please look at the c:\windows\ccmsetup\*.log to find the issue. 

If you need more help after looking at the log try posting them here so i we can help.

Hope this help

I had done all that before with no luck.  However, I was able to get it to mostly work by copying the whole Client folder down to the workgroup machine and then running it from there.  It now has Software Center installed and shows up in SCCM.  It hasn't gotten SCEP or Updates yet.

When I bring up Configuration Manager, the first screen has all the proper info but the Actions tab only has Machine Policy and User Policy information.

I'll see how it is in the morning I guess.

That's because the device didn't have access to the client share to grab the files. When you copied and ran locally all was ok.

As for the Actions tabs - make sure you have the IP Range the workgroup device is in set up in your boundaries otherwise you'll get nothing from your MPs

If is in our boundary as it's on the same network as all our regular machines.  I'll let it sit for a while and see how it is tomorrow.

Thanks.

OK. I checked the computer again this morning and the Actions tab still only has the two items.  The machine shows up in SCCM as Active.

I'm attaching two of the logs in case anyone sees any problems in there anywhere.

CCMSetup.log

CCMSetup-CCMEval.log

If there's any other logs I can provide, please let me know.

Thanks.

Can you supply the ClientLocation & LocationServices logs? Worth checking this is not a DNS issue in the

From your log files i found below info.

Do you have any security software installed like McAfee, Symantec? Is there a firewall enabled which is  blocking outbound communication ?

You don't need to use Dropbox.  Just click the Download button and then click I don't want to make an account and you can still get the file.

The built in Windows Firewall was on.  I turned it off now so we'll see what happens.  Will it just try again on its own or is there a way I can force it to go try again?

Thanks.

Have you approved the client? In the ConfigMgr console, right click on the workgroup machine (Now that it appears as you've mentioned) and see if there is an "Approve" button.

Is inf-01-sccm01.advicent.net the management point you want the client to communicate with?

Yep you will need to approve a workgroup client. 

By default ConfigMgr will only auto approve computers in trusted domains. You can be gung ho and change this to 'Automatically approve all computers' but this is not recommended.

Well, just checked Config Manager now and al the normal stuff is there under Actions.  Now just have to see if SCEP shows up eventually.

Thanks!
