i'll take a look thanks.

i'll take a look at this as well.

I asked a question a few months ago and got some great help but now i'm at the next hurdle. (original message here http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/configmgrsetup/thread/3687a22f-b37b-45b2-8ce3-105f64169485#4000fda7-4eb2-4cc8-a950-ffea4f57f710 ) Now that i can get childdomain-b & childdomain-c computers to show up in the collections in childdomain-a, what do i need to do in order to get the clients reinstalled with the correct sitecode and have packages/updates install? I think I need to make sure that my client account is in the local admin groups the local computers in childdomain-a and childdomain-b/c. Do i need to do anything with the childdomain-a siteserver computer account in the childdomain-b/c domains? I also think that i will need to re-assign the childdomain-b/c computers to the childdomain-a sitecode so that they will be able to get the correct client. the end goal is that i can decommission childdomain-b and childdomain-c sccm environments, and get rid of those servers. {edited to fix the title}

Hello - Client reassignment can be done through following steps. 1. Remove the boundaries from the current sites. 2. Add boundaries to new site. 3. Use software distribution package and program to do reassignment. Thre are lot of scrips and utilities avaialble in the forums. (one example http://www.myitforum.com/absolutenm/templates/Articles.aspx?articleid=16464&zoneid=89) Go through the below blog for more details http://blogs.technet.com/b/configmgrteam/archive/2009/04/09/reassigning-a-configuration-manager-client-across-hierarchies.aspx More details can be found in the below thread http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/configmgrsetup/thread/5deaf1ca-71d0-4545-8fcf-7cae3d1ca0ecAnoop C Nair - Twitter @anoopmannur MY BLOG: http://anoopmannur.wordpress.com SCCM Professionals This posting is provided AS-IS with no warranties/guarantees and confers no rights.

If you have all sites in the same hierarchy then basically you only need to reassign the clients. Before doing that, check you advertisements and make sure you do not have any that returns the wrong status message. I have seen packages being installed correctly but returning the wrong message. this means that when the client is reassigned, it´will most likely try to run the same installation again (depending on the rerun settings on the package). To reassign the clients, you can create a package and use a script like this: 'replace with your Site Code sSiteCode = "NewCode" sMachine = "." set oCCMNamespace = GetObject("winmgmts://" & sMachine & "/root/ccm") Set oInstance = oCCMNamespace.Get("SMS_Client") set oParams = oInstance.Methods_("SetAssignedSite").inParameters.SpawnInstance_() oParams.sSiteCode = sSiteCode oCCMNamespace.ExecMethod "SMS_Client", "SetAssignedSite", oParamsKent Agerlund | My blogs: http://blog.coretech.dk/author/kea/ and http://scug.dk/ | Twitter @Agerlund | Linkedin: /kentagerlund
