Ubuntu 14.04 LTS x64 Client does not appear in SCCM 2012 R2 Console

Hello,

I'm attempting to manage an Ubuntu 14.04 LTS x64 machine using SCCM System Center 2012 R2 version 5.00.7958.1000. 

The Ubuntu machine is in an SCCM Network Boundary

The management point is set so that it will automatically approve domain clients, I must manually approve non-domain clients

The network access account is set

Clients may communicate via http or https

I believe that the client is installed properly on Ubuntu.  

The client doesn't show up in the SCCM 2012 R2 Console?


Thank you to anyone who has knowledge of Linux management via SCCM,

Jeff

How did you install the client? I'm not familiar with Ubuntu but I've done this for Red Hat Linux 6.5 Server (RHEL 6.5).

The command line I used was

./install -mp SCCM_Server.domain.local -sitecode P01 ccm-Universalx64.tar

Have a look at my complete install here

I installed the client using the same command that you mentioned.

If you have correctly installed the client and "Updated Membership" of All Systems then you need to start looking at network connectivity and communication ie DNS resolution, open ports

See here for Linux client communication

Thanks Gerry,

The Ubuntu machine is a VM on a Windows host with a bridged network adapter.  The host and guest each have their own independent IP address handed from DHCP.  The Windows host is fully recognized by SCCM. The Ubuntu machine can resolve the hostname of the management point and ping it.  The firewall on the Ubuntu VM is completely disabled.   I don't see anything in the Ubuntu sccm log that indicates that the client can't see the management point.

Instead of ping try to telnet on port 80

Is there anything further in the scxcm.log file?

Is the client actually started? I seem to remember having to start it.

etc/init.d/ccmexecd start

Try restarting the client

etc/init.d/ccmexecd stop

etc/init.d/ccmexecd start

Hi Jeff,

What version of the client is running on the Ubuntu server? This information can be retrieved by running the following command

/opt/microsoft/configmgr/bin/ccmexec -v

Thanks again Gerry!

I set the log file to the highest setting so there's alot of information.  I'm not sure what I'm looking for there

I could successfully telnet to the management point on 80

I restarted the SCCM client service.

It looks like the Ubuntu client can see the management point and is waiting to be accepted?  But it's not showing up in console to be accepted?

Hi,

I think Ubuntu 14.04 is only supported from SCCM 2012 R2 CU2 - version 5.00.7958.1303.

So you would have to patch/update your Primary SCCM server to CU2 (or later)

Hi again,

Just tried it and 14.04 works fine with SCCM R2 CU3 (our primary).

I used the same Linux client and install script as I used previously with Ubuntu 12.04.

So you need to update your Primary to CU2 or CU3.

Thank you Jim,

I don't administer SCCM for my enterprise so I have limited control.

Looks like we are running base SCCM 2012 R2.  Does not have compatibility with Ubuntu Server 14.04 LTS, but it does have compatibility with Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS.  So as an experiment I spun up and Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS VM, sadly the same results.

In our enterprise WORKGROUP computers are not discoverable or manageable.  It seems like the Ubuntu machines act very much like WORKGROUP computers.

Currently Domain, and Heartbeat discovery are enabled on the management point.  Network discover is disabled.

I haven't found a definitive source that says states that Network discovery is necessary for Linux and WORKGROUP clients.

Jim, is Network discovery enabled on your management point?

Thank you,

Jeff
