Hello fellas:

I saw something very weird today with my SMS, I have almost 2500 computers
in my collection "All Systems", where is shown only workstations, to install
the client of sms i'm using a script, but, i only assigned this script to a
very small group in my active directory (OU) called DG, today 2 days after
that GPO published to my OU called DG, i see in my collections than more
that my 22 computers in my OU(almost the 56%) of my computers have the
advanced client.

At the beginning i thought that it could be an error of SMS that be showing
me that because i assigned the script only to 22 computers no more, then i
connected to a computer with the client out of my OU called DG and I saw
that the client is fully installed in that computer, iqual than my assigned
computers to that script.

The tree of my OUs is as follows:


DOMAIN
Domain Controlers
Users
Computers
Production
Labs
SMS
GP
DG **

** at this level i put my logon script to install the client.



my script is written in vbs, and here it is the code.


'On Error Resume Next

Dim oSite
oSite = wscript.Arguments.Named.Item("site")

Dim oClear, oDoIt

Set Clear = Wscript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
Set oDoit = Oclear.Exec("\\serversms\SMSCLIENT\i386\capinst.exe /ADVCLI
/SLP=serversms /ADVCLICMD SMSSITECODE=" & oSite)

'wscript.echo oSite



To this script works is needed to write the modificator /site:

i.e. sms.vbs /site:DG


P.S. there is nothing configured and is disabled the property in SMS/site
database/site Hierachy/DG - DG/site settings/Client instalation
Method/Client Push Instalation, i'm really scared because it is installing
the client to computers that doesn't have been destined to install the
client.



Any ideas are welcome...
