My first question, this access account under Client Agents, must belong to the Domain or can it be a local user under SCCM server --> This should be a domain user account and need not to be member of domain admins/any other groups and should not be local user under SCCM server. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb680398.aspx My second question : when i modify those kind of option into SCCM console mgr, what must i update to take effect ! Should i update PE image, don't know because iam noob ! but i want to succeed ! If needed, ask me information about my config---> You dont have to do any thing . Many thanks for your help PS : also another question : as the PE is charged, maybe there a way to open a windows with Command line, so i can try a network mapping, trying to access network with cmd command ! Can you check if the package C0100005 is avilable on the distribution point or not if not,try distributing it. Monitor the distmgr.log from your SCCM server logs for errors.

1.did you specify the server name in command prompt while installing the VMM console like below : setup.exe /server /i /f <path>\VMServer.ini ? 2.I am not sure igf you can install DPM Console on multiple computers to manage DPM server . check this thread http://www.ms-news.net/f770/install-dpm-administration-console-on-remote-computers-11840188.html

1. Use this technet link to install the console silently http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc956062.aspx .If you have advertised the package,what does the log says(execmgr.log) if policy reached to client ? 2. installing DPM 2010 http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff399459.aspx I havent tried both tthe options .

No,it wont work unless you dont deploy OS to clients. WDS and PXE role is used to to deploy operating system Via PXE(Pre-execution environment).PXE service point site system(in usage of WDS) will respond to PXE requests from computers on the network and then work with the Configuration Manager 2007 environment to determine the next appropriate action to take. By default, when you create the PXE service point an associated distribution point is also created with a network share called SMSPXEIMAGES$. This network share contains the boot images and must be accessible by the target computers for booting purpose. You should only add boot images that will be used as part of your PXE initiated deployment to this share. Please refer this for more info http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb694069.aspx

if you dont see any error/warnings on mpcontrol.log,mpsetup.log,can you try the below URL from Iexplorer to see if MP working or not ? http://<siteservernanme>/sms_mp/.sms_aut?mplist http://<ServerName>/sms_mp/.sms_aut?mpcert have you tried installing the SCCM client on win7 computer ? you can also check this for reference http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb932118.aspx

try this VBscript to copy a file: strComputer = InputBox ("Enter Machine Name") strFileName = "C:\FileName.Txt" Const OverwriteExisting = True Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") objFSO.CopyFile strFileName, "\\" & strComputer & "\C$\" MsgBox "Done"

on desktops ,it is working but not on laptops ? isnt it ? can you also check if locationservices.log ? you will have some error messges from the log file if it is unable to get the application correctly . how about boudaries

first time,when the SCCM client is installed ,i seen many times "Software Distribution Site Settings for the client are missing from WMI" which does not leads to WMI error mostly. You can check by looking at ccmexec.log. what does the CAS.log says ? how did you set the advertisement properties ? run from DP or download and run from DP?

can you check if IIS is installed and configured correctly ? what does the distmgr.log says ? are you using standard DP or server share DP ?

You dont have to install IIS on domain controller until you install any of the site system roles(few roles requires IIS to be installed on). look at this technet article for site system roles and its requirements http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb680717.aspx

what does mpsetup.log and mpcontrol.log says ? can you check if MP was installed corretly in the begining ?

can you check if you have set the program to run only specific OS or on All OS types ? can you post the program command line syntax?

can you check mpcontrol.log ? are these components are install on the same server(SCCM) ? can you right click on component manager(either MP or PSP ) and show all for further informaiton(what kind of warnings or errors) ? if the above doesnt help,i would restart the server and see if that helps

Hi, Computers are assigned as clients in sccm based on given boundaries not users and SCCM client can not be install for user and it is for computer. on what information do you say,SCCM started installing client to all users ? Did you check any log file ? Check if you have enabled client push installation ? http://technet.micro...y/bb632380.aspx SCCM Boundaries http://technet.micro...y/bb633084.aspx SCCM will not try to install SCCM client automatically until you have configured client push installaiton or applied any GPO to install or anyother method

make it simple.not in operation is not required here bcz if system has client,it will have value 1 else 0. You just need to use and operation to the first query like if client=1 and OS is like '%Workstation 6.1.7600' select SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceID,SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceType,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Name,SMS_R_SYSTEM.SMSUniqueIdentifier, SMS_R_SYSTEM.ResourceDomainORWorkgroup,SMS_R_SYSTEM.Client from SMS_R_System where SMS_R_System.Client = 0 and SMS_R_System.OperatingSystemNameandVersion like "%Workstation 6.1" take a look at this guide explaining the basics in SQL from w3schools http://www.w3schools...sql/default.asp

Check this link http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/w7itproinstall/thread/aa4420db-ca20-44bb-a30f-f3aa0112ff8d .might help you.

do you see any error messages under site system status with any of the component mamager? check the name resolution on the client side ? do you see any attributes published under system management container folder in AD ? what does it gives when you disover the side code on the client manually ?

Nope,not required to remove SMS folder but if you remove the SMS certificates from certificates folder and if the client policy refresh occur on the client side,it will try to contact Management point to get authenticate and get certificates again.

As per i know,you can not provide access to the user to rename computer only instead ,can give access to join computer to the domain using Delegate control (right click on any OU and choose delegate control).Computers can not be renamed directly(sometimes it may work not always) ,they should be unjoined from domain,rename computer and join to the domain. You must grant them permission to have full control, on computer accounts only.You can set this permission at the OU level and it will be applied to all computer accounts in the OU and down the OU hierarchy.

I suppose,personal folder will be empty and You should delete the certificates from SMS folder before capturing else certificates will remain exisit. are you sure ,certificates exists under personal folder ? btw, have you selected computer or user ? i suppose computer.

Hi Ralph and Welcome ! Few things to check 1) SCCM Boundaries check boundaries are added correctly or not ? 2) Diabled the firewall 3)What does the clientlocation.log and locationservices.log says on ur client logs (c:\windows\system32\ccm\logs) Here is the check list to follow in SCCM client troubleshooting http://eskonr.com/2010/11/smssccm-client-installation-troubleshooting-check-list/

You have 2 methods(Inplace and side by side) in upgrading SMS to SCCM 2007 and organisation have to decide which one to choose . Here is check list for SCCM upgrade http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb693622.aspx and step by step guides http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/448-how-can-i-upgrade-sms-2003-to-sccm-2007/ Virtual Lab : https://msevents.microsoft.com/cui/webcasteventdetails.aspx?eventid=1032346653&eventcategory=3&culture=en-us&countrycode=us

did you try this ? http://eskonr.com/2009/07/how-to-allow-smssccm-to-take-remote-control-though-firewall-in-on/

Configure the SCCM server with PXE service point role and select the server which has WDS installed .
