problem with site assignment

[DancingFerret]

hi,

 

I've inherited an sccm site that has a site assignment issue and i can't seem to find the problem.

 

config : schema extended (confirmed CM is publishing to SM container and creating MP and SLP containers), ip subnets added as boundaries (there are no subnets in AD Sites and Services), checked all the various logs, hman, ccm mplogs etc all are clean no errors.

 

problem with new clients when I Discover site assignment it fails , unsuccessful. did all sorts of troubleshooting from reviewing locations services, client location logs etc, no definitive answer to resolve.

 

but when I add the the default AD Site as a Boundary , then everything works (Site assignment successful)... and I can't find out where the problem is. we don't want to use ad sits as a bounbary so need to find out why site assignment isn't working when IP Subnets are defined as boundaries.... any ideas as to where else i can start looking???

 

 

thanks in advance

Do you have the Server Locator point installed?

Once you have a Server Locator point, call the SMSSLP=<Server with Server Locator point here> switch when running ccmsetup.exe on the new clients.

Thanks for the reply, but the problem isn't to do with SLP...

I just realized that you are using IP Subnets as your boundaries.

This is more than likely causing the problem that you are experiencing and definitely explains why it works when you set the AD Site as a boundary.

It is recommended to use IP address ranges as boundaries in production environments...
