Client Push Problems

[IanDD]

Hi Folks, I am proper n00b here so please be gentle

 

I am currently having problems pushing clients out in a VM test lab, I have detailed below the config:

 

Domain Controller (DC1) - Server 2008 R2 - DHCP/DNS - Schema Extended

SCCM Server (SCCMSVR) - Server 2008 R2 - SQL2008R2 - IIS/WSUS/File Services

Client - (client) - Win7 32bit

 

These were all created off of master vm images that had been sysprep'd before cloning.

 

I have followed the guide on this forum and everything seemed to be going brilliantly. SCCM discovered all my machines in AD and then I configured the clients and the client push propertys as per the guide and then proceeded to push out the client. My problem is for some reason is that my SCCM server and my client win7 machine receive the client but my domain controller does not. I have specified for the client to be allowed on domain controllers and double checked all the settings but I can not get the client pushed out to this one machine.

 

After reading numerous very helpfull posts here I tried the following. I checked the ccm.log and found the below:

 

---> Unable to connect to WMI ® on remote machine "DC1", error = 0x8004100e. SMS_CLIENT_CONFIG_MANAGER 09/03/2011 19:45:30 3428 (0x0D64)

 

After reading post after post over the last couple of days I then tried the following. I ran wbemtest.exe on my SCCM server and set the Namespace = \\dc1\root\wmi, I then ran Enum Classes with the superclass = Eventtrace, this completed with no errors. I have also turned off windows firewalls on all machines and checked that I could connect to the admin$ share on each machine. DNS is all present and correct as i can ping via ip or name from all machines.

 

I dont think this is an account issue as the client installs fine on the other 2 machines but just not the domain controller.

 

I have since spent an evening rebuilding the domain controller but I am still getting exactly the same problem.

 

I really dont like posting problems unless I have really hit a brick wall and I have read until my eyes bleed trying to find a solution.

 

I would like to say a big thankyou to everyone on this forum as the posts here have really helped a lot

 

Edit**

 

 

Just checked the ccmsetup.log on the domain controller and have the following errors:

 

Failed to successfully complete HTTP request

 

Request failed: 404 Not Found

 

Any help is appreciated

Ahhhhh, I have got a bit further now and looks like my problem is either the FSP/MP or IIS, so I am going to try a reinstall of all 3.

 

A quick question thou if anyone can help, if I have IIS installed and configured on my SCCM server do I also need to install it on the domain controller?

 

Many thanks

You dont have to install IIS on domain controller until you install any of the site system roles(few roles requires IIS to be installed on).

look at this technet article for site system roles and its requirements http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb680717.aspx

Hi Guys,

 

Still stuck on the below 2 error messages:

 

Failed to successfully complete HTTP request

 

Request failed: 404 Not Found

 

I have had a search around and it seems to be an IIS issue but can not understand it as the management point seems to be working fine, so I think webdav is setup as it should. I have followed all advice on installing and configuring webdav for server 2008 r2, and even checked the webdav_schema.xml which seems correct.

 

I really do not wont to move on in my training until i have the client pushed out to all machines but it does not matter what I do I can not seem to get the client on the domain controller.

 

I tried uninstalling the reporting and managemnt point roles, uninstalling IIS, and then reinstalling, the logs seem to indicate everything is back up and running but I still get the above error message on the client.

 

Any help or pointers on what to look at next would be greatly appreciated

if you dont see any error/warnings on mpcontrol.log,mpsetup.log,can you try the below URL from Iexplorer to see if MP working or not ?

 

http://<siteservernanme>/sms_mp/.sms_aut?mplist

http://<ServerName>/sms_mp/.sms_aut?mpcert

 

have you tried installing the SCCM client on win7 computer ?

 

you can also check this for reference http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb932118.aspx

Many thanks for the reply, I tried the above URL and got the following message on my domain controller in IE:

I have 3 machines on my domain, a domain controller, an SCCM server/SQL server and a windows 7 client, I have managed to push out the client to the SCCM Server and the Windows 7 client but can not seem to get the client to push out to the domain controller.

 

I will check that other link as well , many thanks for the help

Not being able to push to Domain Controllers is almost always a rights issue. The Push account is probably not a Local Admin on the Domain Controller

[IanDD]

Many thanks for your help Guys, looks like it was an IIS issue as I uninstalled and reinstalled IIS, reconfigured webdav and pushed the client out. Not sure exactly what the problem was but the 3rd reinstall seemed to do the trick, I am not sure if it just me but IIS on server 2008 r2 seems very flaky at best.

 

I am only working in an virtual environment designed just for my training purposes but if IIS is that flaky in a enterprise environment then its not good news.

 

Id like to say a big thanks to everyone on this forum for there posts and guides as they have been a great help in troubleshooting the problems I have had and I have learnt a huge amount of knowledge from them

 

Hopefully as I learn I will be able to help and contribute as well
