Trouble with Linux clients reaching MP

[bmowens]

Hello, everyone!

 

I'm having a bit of trouble trying to get any of my Linux servers to communicate with SCCM. I'm fairly new to Linux, but the SCCM environment is functioning well from a Windows perspective.

 

The issue: Linux client installs ok (installed as root), but is getting a 404 message returned from the management point (there is only 1 MP and no FSP's in this environment).

 

I've re-installed the MP, verified MP functionality, verified authentication method is HTTP and not HTTPS, allowed internet clients (has since been turned off), ran wireshark to verify the client is getting a 404 return from SMS_MP on the MP. I've also added the FQDN of the MP into the hosts file on the Linux client (as well as a machine name alias), and verified I can ping the FQDN and machine name. There are no windows firewalls on the clients, and all ports are open between the MP and the Linux client. I've tried this on other Linux servers with the same exact results.

 

My install command is:

./install -mp FQDN -sitecode SITECODE ccm-Universalx64.tar

 

Linux OS: Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS

Windows OS: Server 2012 R2

Latest Linux/Unix client from MS

SCCM 2012 R2 up-to-date

 

Both SCCM and the Linux client are VMs.

 

With a fresh client install, I receive these errors in the client log:

I did a fresh re-install of the client, and this time I specified a FSP. I'm now seeing these errors in the trace log:

did you review my guide here ?

I actually did follow your guide. It was your guide that showed me how to get started.

Anyone have any ideas on where to start checking? I see the client reaching the server which holds the management point, yet the MP is returning a 404. Anything I can check on the MP to verify location services are returning valid info?

 

MP self-tests on HTTP pass.
