Re: Clients think my local Dp is a Remote Dp

I have no roaming boundaries set. The site boundaries are set to the Domain Controller and the Backup Domain Controller. I am not using IP subnets for boundaries. We own the IP range 141.222.xxx.xxx . Should I set my site boundaries to 141.222.0.0 ?

Killing me here. Can not install packages to clients. Using SMS 2003 SP2, Advance Security, Advance Clients. Reinstalled IIS and SMS several times. Security is fine (I think). I get a message in CAS.LOG, about the package download only. Finally, in Advanced Client in the Advertisment, I checked the box that says if a local DP is not available, use a remote DP. Alas, my packages now download and install correctly. Why do my clients see the local DP as a remote DP?
What is in your site boundaries, and roaming boundaries (site properties)

What is the ip subnet of the clients that misdiagnose your dp?

You should set your site boundaries to the ip subnets of your clients.
Right click some of your clients in a collection and select properties, verify the ip subnet here.
