Hi, I have configured BDP for one of the site server. Whichs is working fine. After some time the SCCM Client on the BDP server at the Primary SCCM site end was not appearing and due to which BDP is not working. Need to know why the client communication breaks between BDP and Primary site. Plz let me knowthe reason for the same. regards KrishnanKrishnan

HI, The BDP is using the sccm client compontents to act as a DP, so I would start with basic sccm client troubleshooting.. Is the sccm client installed? If you run a Discoivery data cycle on the client does it registrer? are all services started? Here are some more tips:http://blogs.technet.com/b/configurationmgr/archive/2009/08/10/troubleshooting-issues-where-clients-are-not-reporting.aspx regards, Jrgen-- My System Center blog ccmexec.com -- Twitter @ccmexec

Hi, Yes this is installed and detecting at SCCM Primary site. We were able to configure the BDP too. But after some DP updates, and couple of restarts the BDP has been grayed out and become SDP. need to know why this has been happened.Krishnan

What's an "SDP"? There is nothing else for a BDP to become. Where is it greyed out?Jason | http://blog.configmgrftw.com
