SMS Site Code Discovery

[Kreichek]

Hi. I have the following issue. I have installed Systems Management Server 2003 in an active directory environment and then installed the Advanced client. I had the problem with the server showing that the clients are not installed, just Assigned:Yes. Then I decided to uninstall SMS (but the SMS client remained installed on the workstations, probably wasn't a good idea) and install it again with a different Site Code. Now the clients are assigned with the old Site Code. Is there a way to make them discover the new site code without visiting each workstation and clicking Discover in the Systems Management Properties window? Thanks to all who wish to help.

There are a few things that should work.

You could download Corey B, tools to any computer collection.

You could run a logon script that would change the site code (edit the XXX) and perhaps take away the echo

Set smsClient = CreateObject("Microsoft.SMS.Client")

WScript.Echo "Client is currently assigned to site " & smsClient.GetAssignedSite

smsClient.SetAssignedSite "XXX", 0

WScript.Echo "Client is now assigned to " & smsClient.GetAssignedSite

Set smsClient = Nothing

Thanks. I did it with a startup script - ccmclean.exe thus uninstalling the client and then another installation. It's not the cleverest way, but it worked.
