    I have enabled automatic site-wide client push installation, but only checked Workstations under System types, No Server OS

    But anyway the client are pushed out to servers, and Configuration Manager site system servers.
    How can prevent client push to servers?

    Running System Center Configuration Manager 2012 Service Pack 1.

    regards

    you can use a registry key on the sccm server to prevent installation on some machines, as described here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg712273.aspx

    or change the AD system discovery method to only specify 'computer' OUs and not the 'server' OUs

    If we have to manually modify the registry key, then why there're options in SCCM console -> client push installation to choose Server/Workstation/SCCM Site Server?

    Do you have another installation method in play like WSUS or script?

    Have you reviewed ccm.log to verify this behavior?

    Have you gone back into the client push settings to verify that the servers option is in fact still unchecked?

    The option to choose if the client is installed on server/workstation/cm sites is for Automatic Client Push. Client Push will not create the CCR file that triggers the initial installation if the device matches with anything selected there.

    Using the registry key option is an override that is fully honored by the Client Configuration Manager component, so installation will be skipped there.
