I am having a similar problem, and I don't understand your resolution. I
actually have quite a few stations that are assigend, over 150, but there are
a few that are not (though they are on the same subnet as others) and my
boundaries "look" OK. The check boxes for Include only site sytems is
checked and grayed out. Any ideas why this quit working? Why are my check
boxes diabled? The only one I can edit is the bottom, force install check
box.
