Can’t Install the Client on Machines that don’t show a Site Code

Goto the SMS Home Page

I have a network with one Primary and five Secondary sites. When systems are discovered in any given Secondary site, some show the site code in the Site code column in the All Systems Collection and some don’t, although all have 'Yes' in the 'Assigned' column.

The problem is that the client software will not install on the computers that do not show a Site code. How do I fix this?

From the microsoft.public.sms.misc newsgroup
First look in the log file for the specific client installation method to determine why the client won't install. In this case '
CCM.LOG' and 'CIDM.LOG' files indicated a logon failure for a local SMSService account which only had Domain User permissions on the local machine.

By changing the account CCM uses to push out client installs (from the Site Server itself go to '
Site Hierarchy', access its properties, and then on the 'Accounts' tab, specify the account to use at the bottom ('SMS Client Remote Installation Accounts')). Just make sure the account you list is an admin on the target clients which in this case solved the problem.
