Found that creating an AutoIT script with #requireadmin to run the ccmsetup works to install the client on 64-bit. There is something different with security in 64-bit and this does the trick.

Disabling UAC does not change anything. The client is still unable to determine connection type or site mode. Both show unknown. It is like the client can't write to a part of the registry unless it is run specificly as Administrator, even though Authenticated Users is in my Administrators group.

Yes this can be done. We are currently running FCS on SCCM 2007. Just search for sccm forefront and you will see some blogs and docs about how to set it up.

I am seeing the same thing. We instal the client with a logon script via GP. 32-bit systems installs fine, 64-bit systems it installs, but cannot gather any information or policies or site assignment. I can manually go in and do discover site within the client, then it works fine. If I run the install script from the command prompt running as administrator, then it installs fine and immediately gathers site/client information. How can the install be automated for x64 machines?
