Why would new machines not be discovered in the SMS box. We have the Active Dir. set up and SMS setup and SMS did discover Active Directory during install, but has not been able to discover the 2 newly added computers.
We have set SMS to do discovery every way possible. Yet when we add a new box it is not being discovered.

What OS on the workstations? If WIndows 2000, SMS 2.0 is needed to inventory the workstations. Check the SMS client configuration for what it is set to report. The MIFs will tell you that.

Make sure the SMS Client and SNMP services are runningon the new workstations.

we have an SMS server to discover new win2K clients and it is not doing so. I have just dwn loaded srvpk3 for SMS. We can't figure out why it will not discover the client. If you are an SMS guru please leave your e-mail address to possible confir a little better. I have found that there are not to many good SMS users or admins.
