Unable to retrieve AD site membership
I have google'd this error: Unable to retrieve AD site membership and I've yet to find a fix. we have 1 office that has about 25 machines. they all used to receive advertisements and worked. now, none of them work and we can't figure out why. the boundary has not changed. in fact nothing has changed that we know of yet all the clients in this office have this same error in the locationservices.log file.

Can you please expand upon "receive advertisements" ? What exactly is your definition for that? What have you checked on? Have you reviewed any logs or are you experiencing any specific failures or have any error messages?Jason | http://blog.configmgrftw.com | Twitter @JasonSandys

all the machines used to receive advertisements and run the packaged software. now, we are no longer able to install any packages on these machines. the boundaries are all based on AD Site Name. but they have been checked and double checked and they are correct. the policyagent.log did not have any errors in it.

We need a lot more information to help you than it "doesn't work." What kind of adverts are you using? Are you advertising to users or computers? Are you sure the systems are in the collection with the advert? Have you done any troubleshooting?Jason | http://blog.configmgrftw.com | Twitter @JasonSandys

Jason, yes we've done a lot of troubleshooting. it is a collection of computers, which are all windows 7 x64 machines. and it does not matter what type of advertisement it is, they all fail. run from DP, download and then run, task sequences etc.... none of them work. we've tried to push out .EXE's, .MSI's etc....and they all fail. but the issue at hand is the fact that all of these machines have the same error: Unable to retrieve AD site membership would that not break the client? none of these machines have sent up an inventory in weeks either. so it would appear that solving the AD issue would fix the rest of the issue.
