vb script concerns regarding my SCCM clients plz help

[JakesSA]

Hi All,

 

I've notice my SCCM clients not responing to my main server. So I started looking and notice the following in our login script. I'm not a expert in scripting but please explain to me what will the following do to my SCCM clients

 

==================

Sub SMSSite()

Dim smsClient, inParam, result

If Site <> "DurbanPlessey" OR Site <> "Killarney" Then "This will only exclude these sites"

Set smsClient = GetObject("winmgmts://127.0.0.1/root/ccm:SMS_Client")

Set inParam = smsClient.Methods_.Item("SetAssignedSite").inParameters.SpawnInstance_()

inParam.sSiteCode = "C00"

Set result = smsClient.ExecMethod_("SetAssignedSite", inParam)

End If

End Sub

==================

 

Advice will really be appreciated.

 

Thank you

Jakes

This script is just setting the site code C00 in your SCCM Client if the computer object is not located in the AD Sites DurbanPlessey or Killarney. Check the clientlocation.log on you clients to see if they can resolve the management point.

Set smsClient = GetObject("winmgmts://127.0.0.1/root/ccm:SMS_Client")

 

Thank you Peter33

 

The line in red why would the loopback address be used?

[Peter33]

The loopback device is addressing the local machine. You can replace that by a simple dot which will have the same effect "winmgmts://./root/ccm:SMS_Client".

It's just a matter of personal preference.

I'm wondering though why this code snippet is placed in the logon script, since you need admin rights to change the site settings of the client.
