Hi I have a SCCM server (trial) and 1 Windows 7 x64 enterprise test workstation. I can't seem to install the client remotely nothing happens no logs on the client workstation. I have done the folllowing 1. Turned of the firewall and firewall service on the workstation 2. Setup boundaries on my SCCM server, (Using AD) 3. My test workstation in assigned has ASSIGNED=YES In order to test I manually installed the client on my test workstation, and indeed it reports the client is installed in SCCM I then tried the remote tools and it says unable to contact host, so this leads me to believe part of my issue is that the workstation and the server are not communicating properly. Any help in trouble shooting this problem would be appreciated.

- Check if you can ping the workstation from SCCM using host name - Check if wmi service is running - Check if $admin is available over the network - Check if client push account is configured and is local administrator for the workstation you are trying to install the client

Potential troubleshooting steps, to see if there is still something preventing remote access: From the server, as YOU, can you get to admin$ of the remote box? What about remote WMI? If so, then from the server running as SYSTEM, can SYSTEM get to admin$ of the remote box? WMI remotely? fyi, http://verbalprocessor.com/2007/12/05/running-a-cmd-prompt-as-local-system/Standardize.

Open ccm.log on your server and check for errors. John Marcum | http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/jmarcum/|
