Question : Problem: SMS 2003, Automatic site code discovery was unsuccessful

A previos IT person before me here attempted to implement SMS 2003 but never had it working properly. I could not get his existing install working properly either, so i removed SMS, IIS, and SQL from the server and started from scratch.

I chose not to extend the AD Schema, as I do not have permission (not sure if it was already extended in the past). I installed the advanced client on a new test client by running client.msi from the SMS server CIFS share. During the install I put in the site code for the new SMS server. After the install, I checked in the Systems Managment in control panel it it did not show a site on the Advanced tab. I tried the discover button and got the message "Automatic site code discovery was unsuccessful". Before i uninstalled and reinstalled, clients were able to use the discover button.

If I manually enter our site code, it will accept it and I can receive packages. I have one SMS server that is configured for all roles (MP, SLP, DP, CAP, RP, Component Server, Site Server, SQL Server).

In the code snipplet below are the entries from the ClientLocation.log and  LocationServices.log

Answer : Problem: SMS 2003, Automatic site code discovery was unsuccessful

so you have extended the AD, you just previously hadnt granted the correct permissions.... solved your own issue, good to see.

and you dont need to use adsiedit, just use AD users and computers and put it in advanced mode.
