We have moved to the 2008 R2 platform and are staying with SCCM 2007 R2 for now.
There seems to be a problem with advertised packages not showing up for almost 24 hours on a client machine. Previously on the 2003 R2 platform we didnt have the problem so Im concenred I may have missed something. Ive screened the Client Location log and seen where the client is continously trying to get the assisgned site (which then gets and is assisnged to the proper site code). However, it does this over and over. In a 20 minute time period it has requested and was subsequently assigned 5 times.
Ive also reviewed the LocationServices log and it is attempting to retrieve the local MP from AD and states it has retrieved the correct MP and refreashes the MP with the correct site code. (It also refreashes the certificate keys as well)
The Schema has been extended, the management services container has the correct permissions, and the site can publish to AD (SLP and Wins have also been properly configured ... just in case)
We didnt have this proplem on the 2003 box but the 2008 R2 is proving to be difficult.
One last log I did look at was the execmgr log and found nothing but red (see below)
All these logs are off of a new client install. The server logs will be reviewed later tonight.
Thanks for any insight!
