currently setup an SMS (SP2) server, with one domain (200 nodes) I have turned all the flags off (too concerned that the client software might go out there and install itself on workstations and servers) We decided to use smsman.exe to install the clients manualy. Exactly what features do I have to turn on to make this happen? Also when I install it on one machine (with wizard) the last mssg I get is "The systems management installation wizard completed successfuly but no systems management sites were configued to manage your computer" !!
So I didn't get %100 clean installation. Any idea. (I have also enabled all the client agents)
Thanks

In order to use the manual functionality installation (SMSMAN) you must enable the winnt logon discovery method (without enable modify logon script). When you start smsman, it search files in the smslogon share.
You must set the correct boudary in the site properties in order to assign a client to site.

Did try all of the mentioned above, and have no luck. I have currently opened a ticket with Microsoft SMS devision.

Since your question is so old, you might as well just reload the latest versions of all software, and you'll have a new set of problems to deal with. Heck, update all your hardware and operating systems while you're at it. Have a real party.
