Re: 4 forests-domains, roaming clients, no trusts, not Internet-Based



It has indeed been renamed to the Network Access account.
You don't need to create the account multiple times, it just needs to be a domain user account. People usually create a user in the domain where the site server is in.

Thank you, Kim for all your hard work in helping others! I am thinking that I would need to create the same advanced client network account with the same password in each domain, then point Configmgr to it? Where do I set the account up in the Configmgr console?

In doing preliminary research for this, I found this link:

http://myitforum.com/cs2/blogs/socal/archive/2007/03/12/sccm-2007-how-to-site-configuration.aspx

Which states: "Software Distribution configuration is next. This looks the same as it does in SMS 2003, you will need to specify the drive where packages are stored, the D drive in our case. And the Advanced Client Network Access Account. You may think to yourself, didn’t we already do this in the Computer Client Agent, and you would be correct, in the next build the Advanced Client Network Access Account will be gone, this is just left over legacy UI. "

This indicates that the Advanced Client Network Account "will be gone" (?). I haven't been able to find it in the console under that specific name. Is it the "Network Access Account" under Site Settings/Accounts?

Thanks again!

OK this is a good one, I think...

Without implementing Internet-based configuration:

I have 3 forests with 3 domains. Can I configure SCCM 2007 so that a client in Forest 1 - Domain 1 (located in Kyoto Site) who roams to Forest 3 - Domain 3 (Kentucky Site) can get updates from a DP in Domain 3? Oh, by the way, there are no Domain Trusts.

If so, in a billion words or less, how? :)

Thank you! Now stop laughing...
