SCCM 2012 Client Push Errors

An easy way to install SCCM 2012 client on domain machines is the client push installation. You can enable this method from console under Administration->Site Configuration-> Sites->R-Click Site Name-> Client Installation Settings-> Client Push Installation

Or from the ribbon:

You Can then Monitor What’s going on through the following log files:

Server log file:

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\Logs\ccm.log

Client log files:

C:\Windows\ccmsetup\Logs\ccmsetup.log

C:\Windows\ccmsetup\Logs\client.msi.log

Last week, i’ve faced the following issue when trying to install the client using this method:

ISSUE:

Clients appear with no agent on console.

Errors:

i got the following errors on logs

ccm.log

Unable to connect to WMI (root\ccm) on remote machine “MachineName”, error = 0x8004100e.

Client.msi.log

ERROR: RegisterTaskDefinition failed with error 0x800700b7

CustomAction CcmRegisterWinTask returned actual error code 1603 (note this may not be 100% accurate if translation happened inside sandbox)

Action ended 7:17:39: InstallFinalize. Return value 3.

WARNING: Failed to delete setup in progress time-stamp with error 0x80070002

Solution ‘1’:

Disable the firewall or type in a command prompt with elevated privileges:

netsh firewall set service remoteadmin enable

Solution ‘2’:

1. Use the Start menu to right-click My Computer.

2. Press the Manage item.

3. Double-click Services and Applications in the left-hand pane.

4. Press Services to expand it.

5. Scroll to Windows Management Instrumentation in the right-hand pane and right-click it.

6. Press Stop.

7. Use Windows Explorer to delete all the files in the %SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem\Repository folder.

8. and restart your computer.

The Windows Management Instrumentation service will start and the files will be re-created

Note: CCM.log on server reads information from CCMSETUP.log on client. So, to get updated information with updated error codes ‘if found’, you should stop service “SMS Agent Host” on client machine and delete this ccmsetup.log file then try pushing the agent again.
