Well, you've figured out the reason we need to enter so many site
boundaries. Windows 98 machines won't install the client unless the
site boundary matches up with the IP/Netmask in the workstation.
We've been using a virtual switched network here that makes it look
like there are hundreds of separate subnets(There are roughly 10,000
clients on the network). As a result, if I want to push the client to
the windows 98 machines, I have to enter a site boundary for every
subnet(Changing the configuration of the network for this isn't going
to happen, either - that's in the control of a completely separate
group). Making things more complicated is that we don't have SMS 2.0
to manage these workstations.
Windows 2000 and XP clients are no problem.
