JSteimle Posted August 3, 2015 Report post Posted August 3, 2015 We are working on deploying SCCM2012 on our network and have provisioned a VM and gone through the great guide here on Windows-noob. We are having problems getting clients to communicate with the site. All of our PC's are workgroup machines. Network discovery does not find any workstations. After manually installing the client on a workstation - communication with the site is not established and the client does not populate the site particulars. If we join the machine to the domain and install the client manually then communication does occur and the client is seen as active. Not sure how to determine if this is an account rights issue or nw infrastructure misconfiguration or? Jeff Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
