SCCM is sending client to users automatically

[anita yazdani]

Hi,

 

I am very new to sccm. I intended to install FEP 2010 for which I installed sccm 2007 R3.Before that i extended the AD schema. My AD contains 3000 users.I followed following links for installation & configuration

I defined AD boundary in SCCM which contains all my users, but didn't select install client option at any point. Just after the installation, SCCM started sending sccm client automatically to each of the users including remote ones, causing bandwith choking

 

Now my questions are

 

What promopted sccm to install clients on computers automatically. Is it usual or did i do something wrong

 

How can i stop this since i read somewhere that it keeps trying to install for seven days.

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 will not try to install SCCM client automatically until you have configured client push installaiton or applied any GPO to install or anyother method
