Client push has been enabled and the account being used is a Domain Admins account. When pushing out the client it only gets installed on the sms server itself. As mentioned before, when machines are discovered they are not assigned a site code which I think may be what's causing the problem.

I am new to SMS and have just installed SMS in a single domain environment on a member server. Whenever I run a discovery, all the machines within the domain appear in the all systems container, however the only one with a sitecode is the SMS server itself and it is also the only one that is...

I've tried sending an external mail to a mailbox on the second server but am not receiving them. That's why I came on here to find out how to get it working. So what you are saying is that I just need to forward all SMTP traffic to the 1st server and if the users' mailbox resides on the 2nd...

I am currently running Exchange 2003. I do not want to upgrade to Exchange 2007 just yet so would like to run them side by side for the moment.

What I would like to know is does the hardware and software e.g patches, need to be the same on both servers? This cluster will be used for SQL Server 2000. Any advice would be most...

I have already installed an Exchange server in the root domain and have already run Forest prep in the root domain and domain prep in the child domain.

That is correct TechyMcSe2k. I am trying to create a Vmware cluster between 2 Vmware machines running WK2003. However I do not have any external SAN, iSCSI or a NAS device to create as the shared storage device. I was wondering if the shared storage device has to be a physical device or if the...

I have created a group policy that deploys Microsoft office 2000 to the domain. The group policy is a computer based policy. Whenever domain users log on and try to run any of the office applications e.g outlook, they get the following error message. "Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Outlook...
