    Advanced Client Push installation on Windows XP

    Advanced Client Push installation depends on two options:
    • Advanced Client Push installation account.
    • Windows Firewall: allow remote administration exception. 
     
    On SMS server you must enter Advanced Client push installation account even if you are logged with local administrator rights on the workstation.
    On the workstation you must allow remote administration exception in addition to the File and printer sharing exception.

    Office Communicator 2007: no legacy

    You can't use Office Communicator 2007* with LCS 2005. It says "Cannot sign in because the server version is incompatible with Microsoft Office Communicator 2007 Public Beta.". 
     
    Broken Microsoft legacy again.

    If you rename the SMS client you lost it

    If you rename the SMS client you lost it as an advanced client. This is by design.

    Prerequisites
    The w13 computer is an AD-domain member. It’s assigned to the SMS site and advanced client is installed on it.

    Reproduction steps
    1. Rename the w13 computer to w20.
    2. On the SMS-server run Smsconsole.
    3. Run AD-discovery, update collection and refresh it.
    4. There are two computers in the All Windows XP systems collection – w13 and w20. w20 has client status "No".

    Expected Results

    1. Rename the w13 computer to w20.
    2. On the SMS-server run Smsconsole.
    3. Run AD-discovery, update collection and refresh it.
    4. There is one computer in the All Windows XP systems collection – w20. w20 has client status "Yes".

    Prerequisite Check failed

    At the Installation Prerequisite Check Options step you can enter SQL Server and Management point addresses.
     
    • If you enter inaccessible Management Point name then the Prerequisite Check failed with errors:
      Administrative share (Site system)
      Unsupported site server operating system version for setup
      Domain membership
      Short File Name (8.3) Support (Site system)
      IIS service running
      BITS installed
      BITS enabled
      WebDAV installed
      WebDAV enabled
    I think the Prerequisite Check is slightly stupid. It doesn’t check computer accessibility at all.
