Hi and thank you for the response,
Yes and Yes.
I used the following script (with persephone being my primary SMS server and
local MP):
dim oSMSClient
set oSMSClient = CreateObject ("Microsoft.SMS.Client")
oSMSClient.SetCurrentManagementPoint "persephone",0
set oSMSClient=nothing
I also manually added the WINS information into the WINS server that both
servers point to.
the LMHOSTS file looks like this:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx persephone #PRE #DOM:XXXXXXX
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx "SMS_SLP \0x1A" #PRE
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx "MP_DG2 \0x1A" #PRE
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx "SMS_MP \0x1A" #PRE
Basically since the problem server is not sharing the same DNS tree/settings
as the rest of the domain, I treated this as a server in a DMZ.

Have you tried manually putting in the management point name using a script?.
Is the problem server configured as a wins client?

Hi everyone,
I have a puzzle here that I'm trying to solve. I was just brought in to a
company that has had, lets say, a different approach in setting up thier
servers. Anyway, I have finally worked through what seems like 100
different
problems to get SMS site properly talking, but I'm having one machine that
I
cannot get the client to properly install.
The machine is a windows 2003 member server, joined to the main domain
that
SMS resides in. The server itself has the primary job of being a
Blackberry
Enterprise server, but has to have it's DNS entrees pointing to the public
DNS servers which does not reference the AD domain in any fashion and I
can
not change the DNS configuration without breaking the primary application.
We then had to modify the LMHOSTS file to point to the pre-windows 2003
name
and add the entrees to point to both the domain controller, SMS primary
site
(which is what server will be supporting this server).
The client will not install if I run ccmsetup, I basically get this error:
MSI: Action 16:16:28: InstallInitialize. ccmsetup 4/2/2007 4:16:28 PM 1780
(0x06F4)
MSI: Internal Error 2203. C:\WINDOWS\Installer\8789c22.ipi,
-2147024629 ccmsetup 4/2/2007 4:16:28 PM 1780 (0x06F4)
Installation failed with error code 1603 ccmsetup 4/2/2007 4:16:29 PM 1780
(0x06F4)
No status servers specified. Status will not be sent. ccmsetup 4/2/2007
4:16:29 PM 1780 (0x06F4)
Next retry in 120 minute(s)... ccmsetup 4/2/2007 4:16:29 PM 1780 (0x06F4)
I did make the WINS entry's on a WINS server to point to the management
point, and the problem server is pointing to it so that at least it can
communicate using WINS or at least that is my hope.
If I run the client.msi the client will install, just not all the way (it
will not update the policies). It will perform a correct discovery of the
SMS site, but since none of the policies get updated, it doesn't report
anything back to the primary site.
I’m able to ping the problem server by name from the primary site, and
ping
from the problem server to the SMS primary site. I have a feeling it’s
just
because of the DNS configuration, but hoping that someone with a “fresh
set
of eyes” can point out my missing piece.
Any help would be greatly appreciated..
