I trying to install SMS 2.0 SP1 and it installs the SMSLogon share on my PDC but doesn't install the SMSLogon share on either of my BDCs (however it doesn't put the SMSLs.bat and associated files in the Netlogon share). Both BDC subnets are included in my boundaries. I have both Logon Discovery and Logon Installation enabled. I am able to successfully install clients using the Wizard <br>
<br>
Anybody have any ideas. Thanks
 
Have these machines been discovered? And can you see them through the admin console? <p> <br><a href=mailto: oneworld@goes.com> oneworld@goes.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
 
Sounds like a permissions problem. Make sure that your SMS account has administrative permissions on the BDCs. If SMS can't write to the server, it can't create the shares. <p>DrLove<br><a href=mailto: > </a><br><a href= > </a><br>MCSE + I
 
If it was permissions, then how did he get it installed on the PDC? The BDC's share the same permissions as the Domain. But as DrLove says, check and make sure the sms account is in the Domain Admins group.<br>
