connects, but you can't view anything
(OP)
When I connect with my admin console, it has no connection problems, but when i try to open any of the containers under the site, they are empty. I checked on the actual server and everything is still there. I have tried reconnecting multiple times with no success.

Is there anything specifically that is different between you and your colleagues PCs? Different OS/Patches?
Have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Admin Console?

The SMS installation is very tempromental and i've previously experienced alot of these random issues. I would recommend uninstalling the Admin console and then re-installing it from the CD.

A GUID is defined at set to identify your machine. This was all fine and dandy. When you reimaged your machine, you are then trying to establish it's existance again. However as far as SMS is concerned, the PC is there, and everything is fine (at the DB end) and doesn't need to run the SMSExec program.
Check here on how to wipe the old entry GUID and then try the install again.

May I suggest, if you've got the facilities (license) for it.
Create a VIRTUAL MACHINE (MS VPC or WMWare), use bridged networking so that the VM machine gets its own IP Address, install the SMSMC and see if you can connect that way.

Goto working SMSMC machine, Force HINV Scan (Hardware Inventory), find the problem machine, force Client Installation.
Goto Problem machine, Control Panel, Systems Management, Set site code to AUTO and Run detect site. Push HINV from problem machine. Give it 24 hours. Restart problem machine.
Try and connect
