I want to know the process or steps to be carried out for checking sccm client installed properly on the workstations. what all things needs to be checked while troubleshooting sccm client. We are facing issues wherein the client is displaying in sccm console but it shows client status as no. Sometimes the client is installed but the services automatically stops.

Hi, There are lot of dependicies that you need to check. I suggest you start by looking at the startup script at Jasons site - http://blogs.catapultsystems.com/jsandys/archive/2010/11/02/script-update.aspx Kent Agerlund | http://scug.dk/ | The Danish community for System Center products

This should give you some hits on Client troubleshooting.It has most of the scenarios when client not reported to SCCM . http://blogs.technet.com/b/configurationmgr/archive/2009/08/10/troubleshooting-issues-where-clients-are-not-reporting.aspx //Eswar Koneti @ http://eskonr.wordpress.com/

Hi, Please make sure SMS Agent HOST service is started, then trigger a data discovery cycle in the configmgr control panelapplet from the client. About 5 minutes later, update your collection membership and refresh it. See whether this forces the client to show up. If it didn't help, You can check the client log files in windows\system32\ccm\logs, especially locationservice.log and clientlocation.log. Check if the client can find MP successfully.Please remember to click Mark as Answer on the post that helps you, and to click Unmark as Answer if a marked post does not actually answer your question.

locationservices.log says retrieved local MP from AD. But the timestamp is of 3 months back. Clientlocation.log says Assigned site is EIS. Timestamp is 5 days old. Policyevaluator log also shows time stamp which is 3 months old which states: Raising event: instance of CCM_PolicyAgent_PolicyEvaluationComplete { ClientID = "GUID:39ECB022-56F4-4FB0-9D15-AD02687208AD"; DateTime = "20100802180158.765000+000"; PolicyNamespace = "\\\\MachineName \\ROOT\\ccm\\Policy\\Machine\\RequestedConfig"; PolicyPath = "CCM_Policy_Policy4.PolicyID=\"{c49e61d1-d543-4093-83f4-ffd6a2dfaba9}\",PolicySource=\"SMS:EIS\",PolicyVersion=\"26.00\""; ProcessID = 788; ThreadID = 3328; }; Please guide

That's most likely caused by a corrupted WMI. I'd repair the ConfigMgr client first (using the control panel applet). If that doesn't help: repair WMI.

Kent can i run this script directly on some machine to test? Will that create a pop - up on user screen? i will be copying this script on user machine and running using psexec utility since user is remote

Nope,it doesnt create any pop-ups ,you can run on remote machines using pxexec. like psexec @computers.txt -c <Drive location>:\wmifix.cmd Via from http://eskonr.wordpress.com/2009/03/18/how-get-the-rid-of-systems-which-has-wmi-issue/ //Eswar Koneti @ http://eskonr.wordpress.com/

where shoud i put the script name. The command mentioned does not specify the script name.

You will have to run the above command from where you placed psexec(ex:D:\script). i.e D:\script:>psexec @computers.txt -c <Drive location>:\wmifix.cmd I would place psexec,computers.txt and wmiscript in one folder .//Eswar Koneti @ http://eskonr.wordpress.com/

Can you share the wmiscript? Also what should be the drive location? Is it the drive of the user machine where ccmsetup.exe is located?

You can place the wmiscript at any location ,you are using pxexec to run the bat file on remote computers using above commands . can you Check this link here with discription : http://eskonr.wordpress.com/2009/03/18/how-get-the-rid-of-systems-which-has-wmi-issue/ //Eswar Koneti @ http://eskonr.wordpress.com/
