I am setting up a very large network. I have several remote offices that i want to support using SMS. These offices are on a VPN, but with different subnets (192.168.0.x, 192.168.1.x, 192.168.2.x, etc).
At the central office, where the SMS server is located, all systems have become clients with no difficulty, however, even though some of the software installed automatically on these workstations at the remote offices, the remote office workstations refuse to become clients to the main SMS server. Do I need to put a secondary SMS server at these remote offices in order for the Main SMS server to control these remote office workstations??
I guess I am just curious because I have the subnets for these remote offices listed on the Main Office SMS server, and one would think that, because these are all of a VPN, and the subnets are similar, that there wouldn't be an issue with these remote office workstations becoming clients to the main office SMS server.
Is there something I forget (or ommitted) to do in order to be able to make these remote office workstations clients of the main office's SMS server?? If so, what could i have forgotten to set up??
To assist you in helping me, let me tell you this: I can use VNC from the main office to get to these remote office workstations, and have noted, that when they log in, that they are running the SMS script, and that, in fact, in the control panel, SMS management is listed, however, if I go into the SMS management of these workstations, they do not have the SMS server at the main office listed, in fact, they have no servers listed. Because of this, they are not automatically loading such things as the remote tools or hardware or software profiling tools. Back at the main office, however, I can see these workstations listed i the non-client area. Please help me to figure this out. Thank you.
