Re: sms 2003 advance clients in different AD forest ?



Have you defined an advanced client network access account?

Site settings, component configuraion, software distribution.

Kim,

I also have 2 forests with a 2 way transitive trust between the domains, sms is running in advanced security mode. Wins is configured with the site information, and I have setup the security on the smsclient share as well as the ntfs permissions. When I try to deploy the Advanced Client to workstations in the other domain that the sms server is not located in, I get the following error.

Failed to find accessible soure. Waiting for retry. and
\\servername\smscient\i386 is inaccessible.

Thanks

Adam

You'll have to either create an entry in wins so clients can find the mp from there, or manually specify it in your client push installation tab using

smsmp=Yourmp.foresta.domain

You'll need to define an advanced client network access acount that is a member of forest A.
