Hi, The client filesa re copied correctly from the server to the client. To troubleshoot the installation you need to look at the logfiles on the client. Start by looking at the CCMsetup.log and client.msi.log (both found in the ccmsetup folder). Also make sure that you updat the collection membership and perform a collection refresh to see the correct data in the ConfigMgr. console.Kent Agerlund | My blogs: http://blog.coretech.dk/author/kea/ and http://scug.dk/ | Twitter @Agerlund | Linkedin: /kentagerlund

Hi Guys, i checked the ccmsetup.log and found the following error. i tried copying the url into the client browser but had an error so i think that must be the cause of the installation problems. when i change the dns name to ip the file opens any ideas? thanks for your help Failed to send HTTP request.

can you check if there any Firewall from SCCM server to connect or network stopping to connect the share ? A list of ports needed for SCCM is available here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb632618.aspx //Eswar Koneti @ http://eskonr.com/

Hi Eswar, to simplify things i have disabled the firewall on client and server for now. odd thing is client installs on other member server but not xp clients.

Could be the name name resolution problem in accessing the URL from the client side when accessing http://SERV2003R3.CORP.COM/CCM_Client . If not,try accessing \\SERV2003R3.CORP.COM\SMS_sitecode\client\ccmsetup.exe from client.//Eswar Koneti @ http://eskonr.com/
