I Have the same problem, My SMS logs are clean and the package apears to be
ready to go, but no clients have requested, i suspect its a policy problem
and the client is not recieving new policies. I have removed the management
point from the server and re-added it, this did not fix the problem.
I have looked at the CCMexeclog from one of my clients and found lots of
'Request Failed:404 Object Not Found' i think this is the client failing to
recieve and new policies

My next plan is to remove and re-install IIS -anyone have any better ideas
how to fix this problem?
