SYMPTOMS
Clients that are in a subnet that is listed in the site boundaries of multiple Systems Management Server (SMS) 2.0 sites may not be listed as &quot;installed into all sites&quot; if the following conditions are met:


 * Remote installation is enabled.
 * Logon installation is disabled.



CAUSE
When remote installation creates a client configuration request (CCR) to remotely install a client, remote installation first checks the client for the existence of the SMS client service. This issue can occur if this service is found; the remote client installation stops, even though remote installation may be installing from a different site.



WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, enable logon installation in all of the domains from which clients log on. A client that is using logon installation checks all known sites for membership by evaluating the site boundary lists that logon points contain, and installs into all eligible sites.
