Client push installing, but not reflecting in SMS Admin Console?

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Greetings all,
I have a new SMS 2003 SP2 site (previous 2.0 site was removed, clients ran
the 2.0 client clean utility). The site sits on the same box as the SQL
server. I've opened up all the requisite ports per KB article 826852, and I
have the following problem: I have about 14 of 100 machines on which the
client components appear to install (the various icons show up in the
Control Panel and the components below show installed/enabled):

CCM Framework - Installed
CCM Policy Agent - Installed
CCM Status and Eventing Agent - Installed
SMS Client Core Components - Installed
SMS Client Shared Components - Installed
SMS inventory Agent - Enabled
SMS Remote Tools Agent - Enabled
SMS Software Distribution Agent - Enabled
SMS Software Metering Agent - Enabled
SMS Software Update Agent - Installed
SMS Source List Update Agent - Enabled

The site code is appropriately identified, and from the Admin Console, I can
use the remote tools, but the console still refuses to show these machines
as *clients*. I've manually initiated data collection and inventory cycles
to try to force a refresh (not that I know if it would work...) to no avail.
the Client_Config_Manager log isn't giving me any errors, and I have
repeatedly updated the collection membership. I'm at a loss, and looking to
the gracious experts here for help. I thank you for any help you can
provide.

~Dave
