I've had SMS 2003 running for a while on my ~175 workstations. These workstations started out with Win2K Pro and were upgraded to XP Pro last summer. The problem I'm running into comes up when I do software updates through SMS. Since most of the clients retained their same computer name, SMS is...
I'm running into a problem installing the client for SMS 2003 on a workstation. SMS has discovered the resource and assigned it to the site. However, the client won't install. The CCM.log shows me:
---> Warning: no remote client installation or SMS service account found
---> ERROR: Connected...
Hey qtin -
That worked. My AD is configured a little differently so I had to tweak the query, but getting started in the System Resource attribute class did the trick.
Thanks!

I've got a dream of being able to build SMS collections based on system groups that I've created in Active Directory. Unfortunately I've not been able to find the right query language or criteria to build a query that will do this. Is there a way and, if so, does anyone know how to do it?
Many...
Along this same line, does anyone know of a way to change client machine names using the SMS Client? I'd love to be able to change machine names by using an advertised program with a script, but I'm not sure what commands the script would need to contain . Then again, I'd also like to win the...
Hey mweible - That worked perfectly. Thanks for that! I know my boss will be wanting more of the same for different software in the future so that's a great query to keep.

I'm wanting to run a report on computers in my site that don't have a specific file installed. I've got no problems running reports on computers with a specific file installed, but I need an exception report. Can anyone help me out with how to go about this either in the reporting component or...
The problem was happening on every computer, to anyone who tried to send to our "John Smith" recipient. I ran the MS nickname tool on my computer, removed the nickname for that recipient, and it fixed it for every user on every computer. My understanding of nicknames is that they are...
I've got a weird thing happening with one recipient on our Exchange server. Whenever someone types his full name into a new message in Outlook, and Outlook checks the name against the global address list, it comes back with the option for two names from the global address list. This in itself...

Well, I think I figured this one out. It appears what was happening is that Win2K Pro was looking at the path to the Home directory specified in User Manager and mapping that drive. Then, the logon script also specified in User Manager was attempting to close the connection and re-map the drive...
I'm setting up some of our first Windows 2K Professional workstations on our network which is using NT 4 DCs. We have logon scripts which are set in the user manager for domains. Each user has a home directory also set within the user manager. The logon scripts set this home directory with the...
