Client Push Installation

[NEO-BAHAMUT-]

Good evening all,

 

At my company I have been asked to take the rains of SCCM as our SCCM consultant has suddenly decided to leave.

 

I'm 'ok' with SCCM but far from being great. On a 1 to 10 scale I'm probably a 3 rating.

 

Anyway I decided that the best thing for me to do is set up SCCM in a lab at home and learn it. I'm currently working through my book and I've got stuck at the 'Client Push Installation' section.

 

I have set everything up correctly as far as I am aware however I am now trying to roll out Config Manager to a member server I have on my domain.

 

So I right click the server and hit the 'Install Client' button.

 

Then log on to my member server. I can see the on the root of the C: I now have a folder called SMS_SERVERNAME.domain.local. This folder is 12mb in size. I am also looking in task manager and I can see that the 'ccmsetup.exe (32 bit)' background process has started. I believe that this should eventually change to ccmexec.exe? at some point.

 

Anyway minutes later and ccmsetup.exe disappears and nothing after checking config manager has now installed the client.

 

Can anyone help

Is there a folder on the destination server called CCM? Or CCMSetup? It should be in the %windir% folder (I think!! lol).

 

If so, there should be some logs in there explaining it (hopefully the setup folder).

Thanks for your reply. Please find attached the ccmsetup log that I acquired from the target client.

 

I have looked myself and can see a few errors on it etc. Perhaps you could shed some light on them.

 

Hopefully they are not too difficult to fix.

Hey,

 

Can you just check that the "BITS" service is running (both on the client and sccm server).

 

You seem to be having error: "0x800b0110"

 

And a little bit of searching came across this

 

There doesn't seem to be much info on this error code (from what I can find anyway), so hopefully it's as simple as that.

With the client in question being a server, you may need to add it as a role/feature (bits). Can't remember which it is lol.

 

Thanks, good luck!

looks like your client can't find the distribution point...how is your DP configured?

Edenost - Ok I installed BITS on my client server and this has not fixed the issue.

 

I.hn.yang - How do you mean how is my DP configured? Is there a certain page I should be looking at. When looking at Administration > Servers and Site System Roles my SCCM server is the distribution point I haven't changed any settings in here and they are setup as default. See screen shot for General settings.

Specify how client computers communicate with this distribution point: HTTPS requires computers to have a valid PKI Client Cert....in my DPs i have it set to HTTP.

 

May be worth looking into since it seems like the PC can't reach the distribution point. Not 100% sure though

[NEO-BAHAMUT-]

How can I set it to http? I did see this and wondered if this could be the issue. However it seems to be greyed out for me and I'm unable to change it?

[l.hv.yang]

Administration > Site Configuration > Sites > Right Click on your Site name and choose properties.

 

Click: Client Computer Communication and select "HTTPS or HTTP" , click OK.

 

Go back to your distribution point setting and the option should no longer be greyed I'll bet when you installed SCCM initially you had selected HTTPS at the setup installation.

[NEO-BAHAMUT-]

Ok, I've made that change now.

 

Just tried to push install the client again and still it fails. CCMSetup.log is attached.

 

help would be great. Do you think I should completely re-install SCCM and select http instead. I followed the guides on CBT nuggets for installation for this.
