Re: SMS Advanced Clients

It is successful, it finds the site and knows that it is assigned to it.
Going back to the SMS admin tool, the workstation shows as being assgined
(as it should) and was done so by AD (as opposed to IP range).

I'm fairly sure its not a boundry issue as much as its something preventing
proper communication between the workstation and the MP. I know the error
log message are trying to tell me something, but my research on the internet
hasn't turned up anything that has panned out about this particular issue.

Thank you for your reply and I await any further advice you may have.
