Re: SCCM Client Push Fails

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



Both Client and Server have the subnet set as 255.255.255.252. I didn't
build the network. I spoke with our Network Engineer and he says he plans on
resolving that some day. Never the less the client and server communicate
fine. (excluding wmi of course).
When I use WBEMTEST from Server to \\ <IP> \root\cimv2 I get the error :
---------------------------------------------------
Number: 0x800706ba
Facility: Win32
Description: The RPC server is unavailable.

RPC service is running on client w/o issue. DCOM permissions ok. F/W off
for the time being. I can even connect to client's wmi from another client
w/o issues. Its somehow just has a problem connecting from SCCM server to
the clients.

Results of previously requested tests: I replaced actual host name and IPs.

It not the correct IP address you are looking for, it is the correct
NetBIOS Name.

/22 subnet is huge! Why using such a large subnet? Are the clients
really using /22 subnet mask or are they using a /24 or smaller subnet
mask? If the subnet mask is not correct, you will have problems
installing the client.

One more thing, Oddly enough I can connect to WS from another WS using
\\WSName\root\cimv2, just not from any servers (including the new SCCM
server). Our servers are on a differnet subnet than the clients, maybe thats
the isssue?? No FW between subnets, they are all under the same x.x.x.x/22
class B. SMS had no issues with this...

Thanks for your response Garth. I don't think its DNS though. All the ping
tests/nbtstat -a test comes back with correct IP and sucessfull response.
However running wbemtest connect to \\<IP>\root\cimv2 I get

Number: 0x800706ba
Facility: Win32
Description: The RPC server is unavailable.
I verified RPC service on WS is running as well as DCOM.

It sounds like a DNS/WINS problem:

.. Pick a WS that is having problem.

.. Ping he WS by name, note the IP address

.. Take that IP address and ping -a <IP>, is the name the same as
above?

.. Do an nbtstat -a <IP>, do you see the computer name in the
list?

.. Using wbemtest connect to \\<IP>\root\cimv2
<file:///\\%3cIP%3e\root\cimv2> Then review the results for
win32_ComputerSystem, is the name what you expect?



If any of these three tests don't show you the PC name that you are
expecting then your issue is with DNS/WINS.

Dear group,

I have a SMS environment side by side with a new SCCM environment and I can

not get the client push to work on most of my workstations after migrating

to SCCM. Oddly enough its random. Discover works fine assigns a site code

Client push account is smsremote and is a domain admin. I log in with the

smsremote account and have no problems accessing the admin$. I know

00000005 is typically a access is denied but that just cant be the case.

(of course unless i missed something) Domain admin all around.

When trying to remote WMI to the client from the SCCM server it fails

(Although I can connect to that client's wmi remotely from another client,

just not from any server including the SCCM server). "Failed to connect to

\\client because "Win32 The RPC Server is unavailable" and posts a Event iD

10009 in the event viewer. "DCOM was unable to communicate with the

computer clientname using any of the configured protocols." Verified DCOM

permissions has local administrators (which includes domain admins) with

remote access even gave "everyone" rights to no avail. .

Verified local WMI Security includes Local Administrators.



Firewall on Server and Client are turnned off for the time being.



Tried portqry -n clientname -e 135 and receive a "RPC query failed (6bf)"

error









SCCM server - Windows 2008/Sql 2008 backend

Client - XP Pro SP3





Nothing gets posted to C:\WINDOWS\system32\ccmsetup on the client.
