Hello I have created a new virtual machine, but have NOT been successful in seeing it added to the build and capture Windows 7 X64 collection. I am using vm ware esxi 4.1 instead of Hyper-V. should I begin again a new slate with RC2 and hyper v? I have obtained the MAC address, and computer name...The new VM in questio shows in the confgmngr console under all systems, but will not add to the specified collection. Any ideas?

Hello, I'm on the first step of part 7 to enable PXE. When I click on Administration, Site Configuration, Servers and Site System Roles, and double click on the Distribution Point role listed, I only get one tab that says "general". Did I miss a step in a previous part? Thank you for any direction you can providew. DUH....I was clicking the wrong part...never mind...got it!

DNS is correct on both machines. I can ping the fqdn back and forth between the client machine and server To deploy the client I am going to assets and compliance- devices- right clicking the device and choosing "install client" -next- check all three boxes verify my site, next and next to close at the summary screen that says "success..." One note of interest...the virtual machines that are not receiving the client are in a different data store.

Hello Niall, I have done as you suggested in numbers 1-4 above. I still do not see a Yes in the client column under devices for either of the user machines. After running the client install wizard I also carefully watched the task manager on the client machines for the client install process to run and did not see it. What else should I check? Thank you for your help.

Thanks to windows noob for making some great resources for sccm for a noob like me! I have a client install question. To my knowledge I followed the client deployment directions exactly. I ran the install wizard, and the two other servers in my test lab (Domain controllers) recieved the client without a problem, just as the tutorial said. I had also previously installed two computers in the test lab, one running Windows xp and another running Windows 7. Neither of these machines recieved the client. I feel like I have exhausted various forums, checking issues such as firewall permissions, etc. What would you suggest I check next? Would this perhaps be a boundary groups issue?
