make sure that you have correctly added a boundary for these non-domain computers....

yes i have set the boundaries ...ip subnet and also i tried with ip address range

Can you contact those machines from the sccm server? For example does a ping or nslookup work?

yes i can ping the workstation with the ip address from sccm server

I was reading your initial question again and I was wondering what exactly the problem is?

Do you get the machines in sccm, but not in a special collections? Or don't you get them in sccm at all?

Well it took some searching, but then I found this: http://blogs.technet.com/smsandmom/archive/2008/03/06/configmgr-2007-client-push-installation-method-in-a-workgroup.aspx

--> It is just not supported to do a Client Push Installation on a Workgroup, which makes sense as you have to configure a installation account (which is almost always a domain account).

Hi,

 

I am also trying to install SCCM Client on Work group Servers.

 

I'm able to ping the SCCM Server and the client server with FQDN and NetBIOS.

 

I have tried to install the client using a command line specifing my MP, SLP and SCCM Server name but still having no luck with the installation.

 

I have gone one more step ahead by adding the MP,SLP and SCCM Server name in lmhosts file but still unable to succeed with the installation.

 

Is there something else which i need to do to get the client installed on the Work group Servers.
