Troubleshooting SMS Advanced Client install issues

SMS Advanced Client push installation consists of three main phases. Loosely, these consist of:

  • Pre-installation phase - The SMS Client Configuration Manager connects to the target client and verifies he client's operating system and client information. The client installation source files are copied, and then the Setup process downloads the SMS core components to the client computer.

  • Post-installation phase - After the Setup program is complete, the SMS Advanced Client obtains a site assignment, sends the heartbeat discovery information to the SMS site server, and then contacts the default management point to retrieve the SMS Advanced Client policy.
