Do you have an SLP configured and registered in WINS? If you left the
installation command line to SITECODE=Auto then it will try to find an SLP
to get a site name to install into, if there is no SLP then it will install
the client but not assign it to a site. If you change the Installation
Properties in the Advanced Client tab of the Client Push Installation
properties wizard to SMSSITECODE=<your site code> and run the push it will
auto assign the client to the site you specify. The help on that tab gives
some more examples of command line paramiters that you can use on that tab.
