Kim,

I've also tried that, it's strange because the Hardware & Software inventory
work, I can deploy applications, but the slient does not seem to be
forwarding data to the SMS server.

The client can "Find" the SMS server when in control panel.

Is there a log file that repotrs data transfer to the SMS server. (Softwar
metering)
