SCCM 2012 Install Client has two Actions only

[Sohanpal]

Hello Guys,

 

I am very new to sccm 2012 and it seems I have hit a stow stopper when installing Client

 

In my test lab i have one machine Server 2008 R2 hosting SCCM, SQL Server and DC. I only have one machine (no separate machine for client) so I need to learn using this only. Machine has 4 processors and 16 GB RAM. So H/W is not that bad.

 

Installed all the above three components and when tried to install the client on this machine I have only TWO actions listed. This client has not sent its H/W and S/W inventory too.

 

Client machine in my case is also the domain controller.

 

My Server Time was 3:23 PM when the installation was started. You might want to ignore the logfiles prior to this timestamp

 

I am attaching the ccmsetup.log, Loccationservices.log, Clientlocation.log, Datatransferservice.log and ContentTransfermanager.log and ccm.log

 

I have tried to install it from Command prompt using CCMSETUP.EXE and from the GUI using Client installation.

 

Rebooted machine several times. Still no luck.

 

Help me Guys.

 

Thanks for reading !!

Cheers

DP

I don't have to look at the logs, your issue is going to be boundaries 99% of the time and they have not been setup correctly.

[Sohanpal]

GarthMJ : I have added new boundary with IPv prefix in the existing boundary group. Uninstalled existing client and installed client once again without any success.

 

If there any way I can confirm that it boundary issue or something else ?

 

Thanks

What exactly have you setup for Boundaries? what exactly is the IP address and more importantly the subnet mask of an affected PC?

[Sohanpal]

In a single boundary group i HAD three boundaries,

1) IP RANGE FROM 192.168.203.0 TO 192.168.203.255

2) AD site and Service. This site has affected PC

3) IPv6 Prefix for this affected PC.

Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::f8c4:f50:9059:5a47%14

IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.203.141

Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0

Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.203.1

I have now one boundary with AD site and services. And when the client is installed. I am able to see the Site from Client applet.

Thanks

[GarthMJ]

If you are only using AD boundaries, exactly what subnet (full details) do you have listed within AD Sites and Services.

[Sohanpal]

I have configured to use boundary IP range from 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.254.254. But this has also not helped me out.

 

Is there any way of checking if the boundaries are set alright ? Thanks

[Apexes]

Try this, i had a similar problem solved by this.

 

Go into Boundary Groups > Select relevant group > Properties > References > "Use this boundary group for site assignment"

 

Make sure that's ticked and it's showing assigned site as your primary site code in the drop down below.

 

Also, be useful to see ClientIDManagerStartup.log - may be that your clients isn't registering correctly

[Sohanpal]

It seems the client is not registering, log files below. In my case the machine is Server 2008 R2. This is from ClientIDManagerStartup.log.

 

I don't have an option to have another machine, its just one machine with (DC, SQL Server and SCCM) and the same machine i am trying to install the client

[Sohanpal]

I overlooked the files. The client is actually registered. What else I can look for ?

[Apexes]

Have you checked it's registering to a correct site?

 

What happens if you go to "Find Site" on the site tab?

 

Also, have you checked your assigning it to a site in my post above?
