did you forget to include something ? is the client in a boundary that is correctly configured ? what does your smsts.log file tell you about the problem ? Step by Step ConfigMgr 2007 Guides | Step by Step ConfigMgr 2012 Guides | I'm on Twitter > ncbrady

sorry - I typed the issue but somehow it never showed up.. This is the issue: I deployed SCCM Client agent to a Win Xp Machine that is ni a subnet which is catered by a secondary site server.. SCCM Installed just fine.. The client found the MP as the primary site server, It found the secondary site server as the proxy MP ... The client registered with the MP and inventory etc all is fine.. The boudaries are configured just fine.. I have explicitly added the IP address of the machine to the boundary that is catered by the secondary site to avoid any confusion... there is no overlapping boundary as well Now I deployed an OS Task sequence to this client.. At this stage the client does not identify the Management Points.. this is error I get in the smsts.log/ <![LOG[CLibSMSMessageWinHttpTransport::Send: URL: <Secondary Site server>:80 GET /SMS_MP/.sms_aut?MPLOCATION&ir=10.165.211.122&ip=10.165.211.0]LOG]!><time="20:01:23.182+480" date="07-30-2012" component="TSMBootstrap" context="" type="1" thread="916" file="libsmsmessaging.cpp:8422"> <![LOG[Request was succesful.]LOG]!><time="20:01:24.757+480" date="07-30-2012" component="TSMBootstrap" context="" type="0" thread="916" file="libsmsmessaging.cpp:8758"> <![LOG[sSiteCode.length() > 0, HRESULT=80004005 (e:\nts_sccm_release\sms\framework\osdmessaging\libsmsmessaging.cpp,5469)]LOG]!><time="20:01:24.757+480" date="07-30-2012" component="TSMBootstrap" context="" type="0" thread="916" file="libsmsmessaging.cpp:5469"> <![LOG[MP Location returned an empty site code]LOG]!><time="20:01:24.757+480" date="07-30-2012" component="TSMBootstrap" context="" type="3" thread="916" file="libsmsmessaging.cpp:5469"> <![LOG[CCM::SMSMessaging::CLibSMSMPLocation::RequestMPLocation failed; 0x80004005]LOG]!><time="20:01:24.757+480" date="07-30-2012" component="TSMBootstrap" context="" type="3" thread="916" file="libsmsmessaging.cpp:5555"> <![LOG[MPLocation.RequestMPLocation (szTrustedRootKey, sIPSubnets.c_str(), sIPAddresses.c_str(), sSiteCode, sAssignedSiteCode, sMP, sMPCertificates, sX86UnknownMachineGUID, sX64UnknownMachineGUID), HRESULT=80004005 (e:\nts_sccm_release\sms\framework\osdmessaging\libsmsmessaging.cpp,9320)]LOG]!><time="20:01:24.757+480" date="07-30-2012" component="TSMBootstrap" context="" type="0" thread="916" file="libsmsmessaging.cpp:9320"> <![LOG[CCM::SMSMessaging::GetMPLocation failed; 0x80004005]LOG]!><time="20:01:24.757+480" date="07-30-2012" component="TSMBootstrap" context="" type="3" thread="916" file="libsmsmessaging.cpp:9324"> <![LOG[Failed to query http://<Primary Site Server> for MP location]LOG]!><time="20:01:24.757+480" date="07-30-2012" component="TSMBootstrap" context="" type="3" thread="916" file="tsmbootstraputil.cpp:1498"> I deployed the OS task sequence directly on to the SCCM Agent..

In addition, the mplist and mpcert gives the right results... I tried accessing the following URL: URL: http://<Any management point>/SMS_MP/.sms_aut?MPLOCATION&ir=10.10.10.10&ip=10.10.10.0 where 10.10.10.10 is the IP address of the machine that belongs to the subnet mapped to the secondary site server boundary.

Oh ya.. this is a fully production environment with 7 servers so far. 6 of those are CAS/ Primary and are working just fine.
