I have tried numerous times to push the client installs to my test machine to no avail. Here is what I have done so far:
1) Made sure to put an administrator account in the Client Push Installation Properties\Accounts tab.
2) Even tried manually installing the client but still can't view the client from SMS.
3) There are no errors on my Component Status or Site System Status.

I'm stumped. I see all of my machines when I query the All Non-Client Systems and can run event viewer, but that seems to be it.

Thanks.
 
Are you running in a DOMAIN environment?
Is the Administrator that you setup in SMS a DOMAIN admin?
Is this SMS2.0 or SMS2003?
 
Yes. I finally got it up and running. It just took forever to push it out to the clients. Now I'm trying to figure out how to set up the security updates.

Thanks.

What did you do? I'm having the same type of issue.
 
I'm running in 2000 AD environment. It's SMS 2003
 
Be sure your clint installation account is configured and has admin rights on the targeted resources.

Check the AD sites to insure the correct subnets are assigned and these boundaries are set in the site congif settings
