SCCM 2012 Client after installation cannot be assigned to site

[sd1204]

I am in the process of doing a side by side migration from SCCM 2007 to SCCM 2012. I have a test system that was previously a SCCM 2007 client and has been upgraded to a SCCM 2012 client using the install client. CCMsetup runs and says completed successfully but it is unable to be assigned to the site either automatically or manually. The site is a standalone primary site. Below shows the error in the LocationServices log file on the client:

 

MYSERVER - is the management point

CRS - is the site name

It seems to me that it is a 2012 client trying to assign to a 2007 site and that's not possible.

[sd1204]

The CRS site was created when SCCM 2012 was installed. The site code for 2007 is different. May I ask why you think it is trying to assign to a 2007 site?

SD,

 

Although the errors aren't exactly the same, I had issues with adding a '12 client where a '07 was previously installed. I too wasn't able to assign a site code. Check the client's registry to make sure it's not getting an old site code. HKEY LOCAL MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/SMS/Mobile Client, Key Name: Assigned Site Code. If it's pointing to the old site, delete it and try reassigned the client through the client's CCM GUI.

Phunky Monkey,

 

Just came across the same issue, in my case I changed the site code entry to the new site code and restarted SMS Agent Host service. The client is now showing up as installed in the console. Thanks for the tip!
