Discovering thin clients

[Abusby]

Hi, im new to using CM07, and have a question im hoping someone can help me with.

I'm trying to detect thin clients running windows XP embedded. I have installed embedded device manager, but no embedded systems are detected at all.

I have tried to detect them with network discovery as well as active directory system discovery but have had no success.

 

Its my understanding that network discovery should detect devices with IP addresses, and AD system discovery those present in AD.

 

Our thin clients operate on DHCP and are present when viewing the DHCP lease assignments, and are also within their own OU in AD.

 

At this point it seems my options are either manually import via MAC (which did'nt detect the devices IP address, therefore meaning i can't run advertisements - so i can't push the client out) or build new images with the client installed and then image the devices via MAC based collections.

 

Does anyone know if its possible to discover thin clients automatically? perhaps I'm trying to do something thats not possible, or have misconfigured my discovery methods.

 

Thank you!

Ok, so i have one test device, firewall is off on this one, the others have firewall on and log reports that they don't respond to ping, which makes sense.

However this device, why is it not being added to any collections?

I don't get it, its resolved the name, knows the IP and MAC...
