Find site from client fails but all appears to be working

[wanderer]

Hi,

 

We have a working SCCM 2007 server and are currently testing SCCM 2012. They are both on the same network. If I install the SCCM 2012 client on a Windows 7 client from the SCCM console then it installs OK, the site name is filled out in the Configuration Manager applet and I can install Applications and Packages with no problems. However, if I click on the "Find Site" button it always fails, the data from the LocationServices log is below. I've defined boundaries based on an IP range for the test PC and I've created a boundary group to go with it. I don't want to make changes to AD until we aren't using SCCM 2007 anymore. (The SCCM 2007 clients locate their site server OK) My understanding is that the client can tell which site it is linked to from the boundaries/boundary groups, is this correct? Is there no way the client can find its site server except from AD?

 

I suspect I'm missing something obvious, any help much appreciated,

 

Thanks,

 

Stephen

True, the Find Site button will always make a search on the AD for a site. The only way, in your current setup, to specify a site (server) to a client is by specifying it during the installation.

Peter, thanks for the clarification. I'll carry on testing for now,

Had a similar problem to this a while back. It installed the client fine initially until i clikced on Find Site, and then it wouldn't find anything.

 

Check you've got the tick box "Use this boundary group for site assignment" checked in Boundary Groups > <relevant site name> > References - and make sure it's set to the correct site in assigned site drop down

 

Long shot, but just in case there was any similarity in the issue i had and yours

Thanks Apexes, I do have that ticked. I'm working on the assumption that the "Find now" is failing because I've not updated the Systems Management data in AD - since it still refers to a live SCCM 2007 install.
