RE: Branches Clients?!Assigned=yes, Clients=NO!!!!

Hi Saeed,

It appears that your problem is due to the Advanced Client not being able to
find a Management Point to communicate with. When you setup and configured
your Site Server, did you extend the AD Schema? This can be performed during
setup if you are logged in with credentials that is a member of the Schema
Admins group or before/after setup by executing ExtADSch.exe in the
\SMSSETUP\BIN\I386 folder on the SMS 2003 product CD.

If you did not extend the Schema and enable publishing, then you need to add
two records in the WINS database for the Server Locator Point (SLP) and
Management Poing (MP). This can be performed by following KB Article -
883620. The benefits of extending the schema in AD to support SMS is:

1. You want to use global roaming for Advanced Clients.
2. You want to use the most secure method available for authenticating
management points to Advanced Clients.
3. You want to use automatic key exchange for secure site-to-site
communication.
4. You want clients to automatically detect the server locator points and
management points without requiring Windows Internet Name Service (WINS). If
you do not extend the schema, WINS is required for automatic site assignment,
roaming, and selection of a local management point.

For further information on schema modifications for SMS, please review the
whitepaper - "Active Directory Schema Modifications and Publishing for SMS
2003" . This whitepaper will guide you in properly extending the schema and
configuring permissions, containers, and verifying everything is configured
correctly.

If you need further help, please let me know.
