Kim,

Apparently all I was missing was adding the appropriate site name to the Site Boundaries.

Thanks

Kim,

Yes I have defined an Advanced Client Network Access Account, however I noticed in the logs:
"Advanced Client network access account is not available"
But I have tried accounts from both forests. Still does not work. It is not even assigning the clients to the site. It says that they are not assigned at all to any site.

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

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
