Hi, We have a primary site already working without schema ext. MP is published through DNS and SMSSLP done through CCMSetup parameters and its working. Later we installed secondary site. MP as before published through DNS (but I changed the port to 80) during troubleshooting. Configured CCMSetup as below CCMSetup <Site code DNSSUFFIX SMSMP secondary site SMSSLP primary site The above doesn't work. Keep getting the below error in Locationservices.log <![LOG[Attempting to retrieve SLPs from AD]LOG]!><time="10:49:39.845+000" date="03-20-2011" component="LocationServices" context="" type="1" thread="2096" file="lsad.cpp:2261"> <![LOG[Failed to resolve 'SMS_SLP' to IP address from WINS]LOG]!><time="10:49:44.923+000" date="03-20-2011" component="LocationServices" context="" type="3" thread="2096" file="lswins.cpp:324"> <![LOG[LSGetSLP : Failed to resolve SLP from WINS, is it published]LOG]!><time="10:49:44.923+000" date="03-20-2011" component="LocationServices" context="" type="3" thread="2096" file="lsad.cpp:2277"> <![LOG[LSGetSiteVersionFromSLP : Unable to get the list of SLPs]LOG]!><time="10:49:44.923+000" date="03-20-2011" component="LocationServices" context="" type="3" thread="2096" file="lsad.cpp:5152"> <![LOG[LSVerifySiteVersion: Failed to get Site Version from AD and SLP]LOG]!><time="10:49:44.923+000" date="03-20-2011" component="LocationServices" context="" type="3" thread="2096" file="lsad.cpp:5356"> <![LOG[A Fallback Status Point has not been specified.

Thanks Since all the clients in secondary site now got installed with client agents and not working..is there any easy way of removing those agents other than using logon script with CCMSETUP /uninstall

You don't need to remove the clients, you just need to make sure they get assigned to the primary site.Kent Agerlund | My blogs: http://blog.coretech.dk/author/kea/ and http://scug.dk/ | Twitter @Agerlund | Linkedin: /kentagerlund

Thanks for the reply. The problem is clients at the secondary sites are not pointing to anything by running this at command prompt CCMSetup <Site code DNSSUFFIX SMSMP "secondary site" SMSSLP "primary site"> Automatic discovery fails.

CCMSetup <Site code DNSSUFFIX SMSMP secondary site SMSSLP primary site Could you please provide the *exact* command line? The client is not able to retrieve the SLP information, that's why it cannot continue site assignment.Torsten Meringer | http://www.mssccmfaq.de

ccmsetup "SMSSITECODE=SEC DNSSUFFIX=XX.Domain.net SMSMP=secsiteserver.xx.domain.net SMSSLP=prisiteserver.xxdomain.net The primary site and clients are working okay.

Finally Autodiscovery on secondary site is working now. All I ended up was reinstalling SCCM agents on secondary site server. However I am unable to see any updated site information from collections. Senders are all configured and set to replicate any time. Is there anything I can do to push secondary site information to primary site to get listed in collections? I am getting the following error on secondary site. Not sure if this can be the cause. SMS_MP_CONTROL_MANAGER (Critical) - MP Control Manager detected DMP is not responding to HTTP requests. The http error is 12152. Any help please. Thanks

DMP = device management point. Nothing to worry about if you don't manage any devices (Windows CE / mobile etc). Try mplist / mpcert: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb932118.aspx. I guess the MP doesn't work so there's nothing to replicate up. Also check sender.log, replmgr.log and despool.log.Torsten Meringer | http://www.mssccmfaq.de

You are right Torsten. When I run http://<ServerName>/sms_mp/.sms_aut?mplist on primary site I get a list of MPs both primary and secondary but when I run the same at secondary site client it times out. I checked the logs and they seem to look okay. I have restarted my secondary server now to see if a restart could fix that IIS time out issue. Also I checked this log "MP_GetAuth.log" from secondar site ...below are the rrors..I suspect something to do with database connectivity <![LOG[CMPDBConnection::Init(): IDBInitialize::Initialize() failed with 0x80004005]LOG]!><time="18:06:57.210+000" date="03-21-2011" component="MP_GetAuth_ISAPI" context="Auth" type="3" thread="4752" file="mpdbconnection.cpp:1049"> <![LOG[=======================================]LOG]!><time="18:06:57.210+000" date="03-21-2011" component="MP_GetAuth_ISAPI" context="Auth" type="3" thread="4752" file="mpdbconnection.cpp:410"> <![LOG[ MPDB ERROR - CONNECTION PARAMETERS SQL Server Name : primarysite\SQLEXPRESS SQL Database Name : SMS_xxx Integrated Auth : True MPDB ERROR - EXTENDED INFORMATION MPDB Method : Init() MPDB Method HRESULT : 0x80004005 Error Description : [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.

MPDB ERROR - CONNECTION PARAMETERS SQL Server Name : primarysite\SQLEXPRESS SQL Database Name : SMS_xxx Integrated Auth : True Are you using SQL Express as the database for ConfigMgr? That is absolutely not supported ...Torsten Meringer | http://www.mssccmfaq.de

Is this a limitation of SQLexpress or its something microsoft won't support? We started as development, now into Pilot. Upon signing for production, I will migrate them into proper SQL. How easy is it to change this into full SQL now? Is there any technet article around it. Thanks for your advise Can the below article help me to achieve the database move? http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb680707.aspx

The supported configurations are listed here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee344146.aspx. Please note that there's no SQL express listed. The article you mentioned might help, but I've never tried using SQL express with ConfigMgr before. You also have to make sure that the computer account of the secondary site is added to the local admins of the primary.Torsten Meringer | http://www.mssccmfaq.de

I will change that todayTorsten. On interim can you please tell what logs can I check for not able to access http://servername:80/sms_mp/.sms_aut?MPlistsite I am able to run the above link on Primary server and that lists all the management point of primary and secondary site. Thanks again

That should be MP_GetAuth.log on the secondaries MP.Torsten Meringer | http://www.mssccmfaq.de

I will migrate the database tomorrow and will let everyone know if that's the problem. On the interim I have made my primary site ip ranges as protected and sendary site ip range as protected. All my secondar site computers configuration managers are getting site code as primary site code now instead of secondary site code. I tried reverting back but no luck yet. Will reinstall the management role again. Somewhere it was mentioned that deleting WMI folder would resolve the issue. I am not sure where this folder is.. can some one please tell me the folder location? thanks

All my secondar site computers configuration managers are getting site code as primary site code now instead of secondary site code. That's default behavior. Clients cannot be assigned to secondaries; they always have to be assigned to a primary, but can make use of the secondaries site systems (DP, MP etc)Torsten Meringer | http://www.mssccmfaq.de

Hi, Finally updated the database to full version..migration was smooth. Unfortunately got the same error at the secondary site :-( please help me.. *** [08001][17][Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]SQL Server does not exist or access denied. *** [01000][5][Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]ConnectionOpen (Connect()). Failed to get connection to the configured SQL database. Failed to get the current CLR Enabled configuration setting for the configured SQL Server hosting the database.

Open SQL management studio and inspect the SQL logs. Any errors about access denied in there? Is the computer account of the secondary member of the local admins on the primary?Torsten Meringer | http://www.mssccmfaq.de

Torsten...thanks very much. Upgrading to proper SQL and enabling "named" and disabling "TCP/IP" in SQL service manager resolved the issue. It now puts me to next step in SCCM :-)
