Finding a Workstation

[rhnewfie]

I am using a network discovery to find the systems on the network but the log indicates that the systems are found but we cannot get the AD site name for the system and hence it is never added to the collections view.

Anyone have any idea as to what is causing this? As far as I know the SD schema was extended properly and all workstations are covered via AD.

The site boundries are set up to be the AD domain.

Thanks!

Another question:

If SMS is installed on a domain server that is not the domain controller will the AD schema extend properly during installation?

well you have to setup ad discovery to find that, network discovery is a different type of discovery method.

Preferably you wouldnt want a site server on a domain controller, so no you dont have to have a site on the dc,you just need to extend the schema.

That's good, the schema extented properly I think.

I did set up the AD discovery yet no go... grrr

I guess the other thing is to make sure the ad site has the correct ip subnets included in them....and that they dont overlap with anything
