    Hello,

    I am having a problem with a client picking up a site code for one of my secondary servers. I have other clients discovering the site code just fine. IN the LocationServices.log file on the client i see this :

    Current AD site of machine is HSB LocationServices 4/4/2012 1:07:55 PM 3480 (0x0D98)
    Failed to connect to AD LocationServices 4/4/2012 1:07:55 PM 3480 (0x0D98)
    Attempting to retrieve SLPs from AD LocationServices 4/4/2012 1:07:55 PM 3480 (0x0D98)
    Failed to connect to AD LocationServices 4/4/2012 1:07:55 PM 3480 (0x0D98)
    Failed to resolve 'SMS_SLP' to IP address from WINS LocationServices 4/4/2012 1:08:04 PM 3480 (0x0D98)
    LSGetSLP : Failed to resolve SLP from WINS, is it published LocationServices 4/4/2012 1:08:04 PM 3480 (0x0D98)
    LSGetAssignedSiteFromSLP : Unable to get the list of SLPs LocationServices 4/4/2012 1:08:04 PM 3480 (0x0D98)
    Won't send a client assignment fallback status point message because the last assignment error matches this one. LocationServices 4/4/2012 1:08:04 PM 3480 (0x0D98)

    This client is on an old VLan compared to most other clients but dont appear to be having an issue with them. Old Vlan is a 128.1.128.x address, and new is 10.150.x.x address. I am sorry but I dont know what other info to post. I have reinstalled the client and repaired WMI. Neither have worked. I am not sure what else to check or do for this client.

    I did read another post but seemed more server related and AD Schema related then my problem.

    I am having a problem with a client picking up a site code for one of my secondary servers.

    What does "pick up site code" mean? Clients can't be assigned to secondary sites at all.

    Right, i get that sorry for the bad explanation. Under the "Advanced" tab on the client there is no Site Code. Should be RC1. When I click Discover it fails and when I manually enter it fails.

    Check that your secondary site truly is published in Active Directory under System\System Management\SMS-YOURSECSITECODE. If you can't see it in Active Directory users and computers go to view and select advanced features. I'd also check the boundary settings for the sites.

    Also, there could be some boundary conflict or overlapping issues? have a look at locationservices.log for more details (if verbose and debug logging is enabled then you will get more details in the log file).

    I concur with Anoop also, I've seen a few sites with the same problems you are describing caused by overlapping boundaries. Let us know what you find.

    Also, did you extend the schema properly?

    is there a site system with a server locator point on the site where the boundary is defined in which your machine resides?

    the IP-range or subnet must be in an AD-site that is defined in your site boundary or directly added as a boundary and traffic must be possible and allowed between them

    I need to check the schema still. I know the IP range is fine because other clients in the same range are working.
