DOCUMENT:Q235535 06-AUG-2002 [sms] TITLE :Smsman Requires Logon Installation or Discovery to Be Enabled PRODUCT :Microsoft Systems Management Server PROD/VER::2.0 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbClient kbsms200 kbCAP kbDiscovery ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Systems Management Server version 2.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY ======= Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) version 2.0 clients cannot be manually set up until Windows Networking Logon Client Installation (Logon Installation) is enabled. NOTE: SMS 2.0 requires Windows Networking Logon Client Installation to be enabled if you want to manually install the SMS Client software. If you only have Windows Networking Logon Discovery enabled, the files needed to install a client in SMSLogon\Sites\ are unavailable. MORE INFORMATION ================ In order for SMSMAN to successfully install a client, Logon Installation is the only method required. If SMSMAN is the only installation method in use, then Login Installation must be enabled. This has been the case with the product since the products release in early 1999. If the NT remote Installation (NT Push) method is enabled, then either Logon Discovery or Network Discovery is required as NT Push picks up the Data Discovery Record (DDR), creates a Client Configuration Request (CCR) and begins the client installation routine. If your clients connect to SMS by using NetWare, there are additional discovery and installation methods that you must also enable on the SMS site system. If your clients belong to a Novell Directory Services (NDS) tree and you have configured the site system for NDS interoperability, you need to enable either NetWare NDS Logon Discovery or NetWare NDS Logon Client Installation. If you do not, the Smsman, Manboot, and Smsman16 files are not placed on the appropriate volume for the clients to access. If your clients log on using a Bindery context and you have configured the site system for NetWare Bindery interoperability, you need to enable either NetWare Bindery Logon Discovery or NetWare Bindery Logon Client Installation. If you do not, the Smsman, Manboot, and Smsman16 files are not placed on the appropriate volume for the clients to access. In this case, attempting to run Smsman, Manboot, or Smsman16 from the SMS\Bin\\00000409 folder on the site server does not install a client but instead generates the following error message: The wizard was unable to locate a Systems Management Server. Enter the name of a specific domain or server. Typing the name of the site server or the domain in which the site server resides also results in an unsuccessful installation attempt. When you specify a server or domain, a "Searching for logon points" dialog box is displayed. Eventually, the following error message is displayed: The wizard was unable to locate a Systems Management Server. Re-enter installation location. These issues occur if no discovery or installation methods are enabled. To be able to use Smsman, Manboot, or Smsman16, you must enable either a Logon Discovery method (Windows, NDS, or Bindery) or a Logon Installation method (Windows, NDS, or Bindery) to get logon points set up. Smsman finds logon points by enumerating the domain controllers in its domain and by analyzing any existing network connections the client currently has. These connections include any to an NDS tree or a NetWare Bindery server. For additional information, refer to the Microsoft Systems Management Server Administrator's Guide, Part 2, Chapter 9, pages 278-281 (Logon Discovery) and pages 285-287 (Logon Installation).
