Hi I'm having problems installing a Secondary site through the wizard. The secondary site gets some files to the partition intended for the setup but the Primary server aborts and removes them. The primary server is in the secondary servers local administrator group. The secondary servers computer account is in the SMS_SiteSystemToSiteServerConnection_XXX group and in the SMS_SiteToSiteConnection_XXX. Here's what the SMS_BOOTSTRAP log had to say: ******************************************************************************** SMS_BOOTSTRAP 1.1.1601 00:00:00 0 (0x0000) Starting SMS_BOOTSTRAP.

which should be ok. Have you tried (for troubleshooting purposes) to start the installation from the Secondary site server (using the media)?Kent Agerlund | My blogs: http://blog.coretech.dk/author/kea/ and http://scug.dk/ | Twitter @Agerlund | Linkedin: /kentagerlund

No I have not tried that yet. We have several secondary sites installed in the same manner from before, but the guy that performed them quit. So now I'm stuck here and a little lost actually.Niklas Ramstedt IT-support / Sys admin

Hi Niklas, You may try to clear all directories on the secondary server and push it back out again or install it on another drive.
