Re: trying to install advanced client



Sorry it's been awhile - got sidetracked on another project.
Yes to the first 3 questions
No to the last 3 questions

One thing I have found so far is that there is no Admin$ share on client
machines. It is a classified network and every-time I do a client install
push or and advertised program to push the advanced client; the ccm.log on
the SMS site server logs:

Attempting to connect to administrative share on machine \\machine\admin$
Error unable to connect to the remote registry of the machine
Error unable to access target machine for request

Is there a way to install the advanced clients without the Admin$ share
present on the client machines? It is a classified network and the Admin's
will not allow Admin$ to be shared or created. (And I wouldn't think SMS is
soley dependant on the Admin$ share, as there have to be other networks
"locked" down such as this)

Also anyone with any information on setting up patch management in a
"disconnected network" configuration? IE: I did it sucessfully with WSUS by
exporting the WSUS content and metabase from a "live" network and importing
into the WSUS on "disconnected" network. WSUS has helped with the patching,
but I really need SMS to "complete" the patch management solution. So far I
am unable to install the SMS2003 scan tools, as the installtion wizards
attempts to connect to the internet to download the .xml files - but there is
no internet connection - and the wizard will not continue or allow for a
manual import during installation.


Any help is appreciated.
