FAQShop.com : "Currently Assigned to Site Code:" property is BLANK

"Currently Assigned to Site Code:" property is BLANK

After pushing out the Advanced Client to my XP machines I have some computers that SMS Reports that the Client isn't installed.

If I look on the actual machines the SMS Client is installed but the "Currently Assigned to Site Code:" property on the Advanced tab is BLANK.

If I use the "Discover" option it assigns the Client to the correct Site but I don't understand why the Client isn't assigned automatically?

The client could fall into this state due one of the following:

If the client push properties (or on the ccmsetup command line), the SMSSITECODE property is not specified OR if the SMSSITECODE is set to AUTO and the client is unable to get the site assignment. This could be due the following.
If you are using AD for site assignment (AD schema extended), then the MP or site objects may not be published. Or the client may not fall within any site boundaries. Please look into the ClientLocation.log and LocationServices.log
If you installed the client without the SMSSITECODE property set, then you will have to manually assign the site or re-install the client with the SMSSITECODE property set.
