I am also a newbie and currently stuck on trying to either push a client install or using a batch file for it. Only when using the second method I see ccmsetup.exe *32 in the task manager, but it doesn't install. Just restarted and tried again, same issue.
So at this point I'm just trying to see if a manual install will work. From the client I am the admin and can map to the SCCM server c:\windows\ccmsetup directory. Then on the Win7 client, I do a Start --> Run, and type in: \\server\c$\windows\ccmsetup\ccmsetup.exe /mp:server(fqdn) /logon SMSSITECODE=U01
ccmsetup.exe is in the task manager, but pretty much hangs and nothing is installed.
Any advice at this point is helpful. I got it working just once earlier when using a VM, and now cannot duplicate it working any more.
