Hi,Have you extended the AD schema (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb633121.aspx) ?Have you configured the boundaries on ConfigMgr Console (Site Management/<SiteCode-SiteName>/Site Settings/Boundaries) http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb633084.aspx ?Management Point is installed or not (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb632400.aspx ?To approve client, you can do this manually or automatically from ConfigMgr Console (Site Management/<SiteCode-SiteName>/Site Settings/Properties/site mode/Approval Setting) http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb694193.aspx .Thank'sBechir Gharbi.

Hi, You have not yet responded to my questions above :)Some common client-installation issues include: Native mode client settings do not work. Clients cannot be managed because they cannot locate their default management point. Clients fail to assign to correct site using auto-assignment. Native mode clients fail to find the NLB management point. Native mode clients fail to communicate with the site because they have multiple certificates. Clients fail to approve automatically (in mixed mode). Clients fail to install using the software update point installation method. Site Server Log Files The following site server log files are located in the <InstallationPath>\LOGS folder: Log file Description Ccm.log Records client Configuration Manager tasks. Client setup log files Client information can be found in the client setup log files located in the folder: %windir%\system32\CCMSetup on the client computer. The following table describes the client setup log files: Log file Description CCMSetup.log Records setup tasks performed by CCMSetup. Can help to troubleshoot client installation problems. Client.msi.LOG Records setup tasks performed by client.msi. Can help to troubleshoot client installation problems. Client computer log files On client computers that serve as management points, the client log files are located in the SMS_CCM\Logs folder. On all other computers, the client log files are located in the %Windir%\System32\CCM\Logs folder. The following table describes the client log files: Log file Description CcmExec.log Records activities of the client and the SMS Agent Host service, and help to troubleshoot scenarios where the client is corrupted or not functioning. For example, this log file applies to a scenario where the client cannot communicate with a management point. CertificateMaintenance.log Records certificate maintenance for Active Directory and management points and help to troubleshoot scenarios where the client cannot communicate with a management point or with Active Directory. ClientIDManagerStartup.log Records the creation and maintenance of client globally unique identifiers (GUIDs), and helps troubleshoot scenarios where the client changes its GUID after a hardware change or after Windows activation. ClientLocation.log Records site assignment tasks. Can help to troubleshoot scenarios where the client is not assigned to a Configuration Manager 2007 site. LocationServices.log Records attempts to find management points and distribution points. Can help to troubleshoot scenarios where the client cannot find a management point or distribution point. PolicyAgent.log Records policy requests using the Data Transfer service, and help to troubleshoot policy request problems. PolicyAgentProvider.log Records policy changes. Can help to troubleshoot policy request problems or (WMI) errors. PolicyEvaluator.log Records new policy settings. Can help to troubleshoot policy override issues. StatusAgent.log Records status messages that are created by the client components. Can help to troubleshoot scenarios where the client cannot send status to the management point. Reporting There are a number of reports that you can use to help determine the success or failure of client deployments and assignment, including: Client Deployment Failure Report Client Deployment Status Details Client Assignment Success Details Client Assignment Detailed Status Report Client Assignment Failure Details Client Assignment Status Details Client Deployment Success Report Bechir Gharbi.
