Hi, I am having trouble getting the config. manager client and run advertised programs features on my client pc. I have been following the guide here http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/491-how-can-i-configure-sccm-2007-in-windows-server-2008-part-3/ but I am unsure of the section on computer client agent properties. when adding a network access account, do i add the full domain name then the account? e.g.: test.corp\SMSADMIN my domain is test.corp Server/computer name: SERVER2008R2DC Full Computer Name: SERVER2008R2DC.test.corp or do i enter SERVER2008R2DC/SMSADMIN? i have checked the computer management/collections section of config manager and my client pc is listed. I have manually tried running the client installation wizard from my server, wizard completes but no change, nothing is installed on client pc. i checked DNS, and my client pc is registered/making DDNS entries. I can ping from server to client and vice versa. appreciate your help. Thanks.

thanks for the tip. I tried starting these services but they did not and reason was because of a logon failure. I recently changed my domain admin password, and after that sql and sccm went dead. so i also updated sql server logon passwords then it worked lol, had no idea domain password would affect sql login. article had the answer http://support.microsoft.com/kb/282254

Hi, 3 weeks ago my SCCM Server/SQL Server was running fine and I was able to follow through with some tutorials here from this forum. I stopped using the machine for about 3 weeks. So today I hooked it back up, only to find that I am unable to connect to the site database when I click open the Config. Manager Console. It hangs and takes a long time trying to connect, Then I get the following error message: The ConfigMgr console could not connect to the ConfigMgr site database. Verify that this computer has network connectivity to the SMS Provider computer and that your user account has Remote Activation permissions on both the ConfigMgr site server and SMS Provider computers. For more information, see "How to Configure DCOM Permissions for Configuration Manager Console Connections" in ConfigMgr Help. also when i Click on SQL Server Management Studio, when i try connecting to the databse engine, it also does not work and I get this error message: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 2) For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&EvtSrc=MSSQLServer&EvtID=2&LinkId=20476 Also I have been checking event viewer and I only see strange comments regarding DNS errors for example: The description for Event ID 404 from source Microsoft-Windows-DNS-Server-Service cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer. If the event originated on another computer, the display information had to be saved with the event. The following information was included with the event: 192.168.0.5 there several errors like this in event viewer but with no real error message except the annoying message shown above ^ can someone please help me? is there something i need to check? thanks for your help

i thought i would do it later on.

Hi, I installed SCCM 2007. At the end of installation process it shows a list of all the things it installed, but it mentioned Management Point, and next to it its status is: Unknown. I did not bother extend the AD schema before the install. do you think its related to this? will i have to re-install SCCM? thanks

Hi, I installed SCCM 2007 SP1 on server 2008. at end it installed nearly everything except the Management Point. Next to it it said "Status: Unknown" does this mean the whole install was a waste of time or should I be able to go into sccm later and configure a management point? thanks.
