DOCUMENT:Q298433 26-MAY-2001 [sms] TITLE :SMS: Clients in Shared Subnet Don't Inst. in Multiple SMS Sites PRODUCT :Microsoft Systems Management Server PROD/VER::2.0 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbsetup kbClient kbConfig kbServer kbsms200 kbDiscovery kbUpgrade ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Systems Management Server version 2.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== Clients that are in a subnet that is listed in the site boundaries of multiple Systems Management Server (SMS) 2.0 sites may not be listed as "installed into all sites" if the following conditions are met: - Remote installation is enabled. - Logon installation is disabled. CAUSE ===== When remote installation creates a client configuration request (CCR) to remotely install a client, remote installation first checks the client for the existence of the SMS client service. This issue can occur if this service is found; the remote client installation stops, even though remote installation may be installing from a different site. WORKAROUND ========== To work around this issue, enable logon installation in all of the domains from which clients log on. A client that is using logon installation checks all known sites for membership by evaluating the site boundary lists that logon points contain, and installs into all eligible sites.
