Computer in "All Systems" collection dont see apps assigned to this ..

[markm75]

For some reason, I have several machines that do not see any applications that are assigned/advertised to this (All Systems) group...

I verified the machine is in the all systems collection..

The only advertisements these machines see, are ones assigned to user groups for the person logged in (Collections with user groups as members).

(I also seem to have lost the ability to add the group "Domain Admins" from my collections, in fact it was there recently but has vanished).

Anyone run into this assignment problem and found a fix ?

(I've tried removing the computer from SMS, then removing the client on the machine, then reinstalling)

Thanks

I would check that the systems in questions are in a SMS boundary, and if you are using AD sites, make sure the subnet is in the AD site, and that something funky isn't going on with the subnet mask on the local machine. Also check if you are using protected DP's that a subnet or boundary for those machines are located in one of the dps.

Well, in our environment.. there is only one domain (no sites), I doubt this is a protected DP either.. as we only have one set up.. I guess a workaround would be to add "domain users" group to the All Systems collection, since the domain groups seem to be working fine, but then this means the software needs reinstalled if a diff. user happens to log onto that machine..

One of my clients has 1 domain and 130 ad sites with 130 pdp's....but one thing I did notice was you talking about user groups and computers, they dont mix.

But if you have a group of static IP's that are not in a boundary that would be a problem
