SCCM Untrusted Forest Issues Require the Site server to Initiate Connection ConfigMgr MEMCM

SCCM Untrusted Forest Issues Require the Site server to Initiate Connection. Have you ever noticed the importance of the option “Require the site server to Initiate Connection to this Site System” in Site System Properties?

Is this option really useful? Yes, it’s very important and useful when deploying Remote Site Systems to untrusted forest/s.

SCCM Untrusted Forest Issues Require the Site server to Initiate Connection

If you think about an untrusted forest scenario, there is “no way” the remote site system can contact your site server (by default).

Whereas the site server can initiate the connection with the remote site system using “site system installation account.”

Patch My PC

Navigate – \Administration\Overview\Site Configuration\Servers and Site System Roles. Right-Click on the Site System role.

Select the properties. Click on General Tab. Enable Require the site server to initiate connections to this system option.

Click on Use another account for installing this site system. Enter User name and password of remote servers local admin.

Once you select the “site server to initiate connection” option for a remote site system, the site server initiates a connection, and it will copy all the required files to respective folders on the site server.

Troubleshooting

More details about the log files can verify whether the remote site system is in PULL mode or PUSH mode. SCCM Untrusted Forest Issues Require the Site server to Initiate Connection ConfigMgr MEMCM?

Log file = mpfdm.log (MP File Dispatch Manager). Default Location of the log file in Remote Site System = \SMS\Logs.

Default Location of the log file in Site Server = Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\Logs. Remote Site System = acncmrsite.remote.configmgr.com.

mpfdm.log file @ site server

  • acncmrsite.remote.configmgr.com is pushing files. Mode must be pull.
  • Pulling files from acncmrsite.remote.configmgr.com. Mode must be pull.
  • Starting pull jobs for acncmrsite.remote.configmgr.com.

PULL:Moving 1 *.SUM file(s) from \\acncmrsite.remote.configmgr.com\C$\SMS\MP\OUTBOXES\sitestat.box\ to D:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\inboxes\sitestat.box\.

Moved file \\acncmrsite.remote.configmgr.com\C$\SMS\MP\OUTBOXES\sitestat.box\lgexcktm.SUM to D:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\inboxes\sitestat.box\lgexcktm.SUM

mpfdm.log file @ Remote site system (acncmrsite.remote.configmgr.com)

  • Remote site is in pull-mode.
  • Stopping all push jobs.
  • Site Server to initiate connection option is not required if you don’t have any forest trust related issues.

    I’ve got a the following environment:

    Standalone Primary Site with SQL2012 on the same box (ConfigMgr 2012 R2) in Test domain (FJW.com) & an Untrusted domain (SeaWorld) both in test lab- I can ping both ways and name resolution is happening via Host files both direction – Next, I am trying to install the MP role in the untrusted forest running Windows Server 2012 R2 using the following account types –

    1. Site System Installation Account = seaworld\administrator with the Require Site server to initiate connections to this site system option
    2.MP Connection Account = fjw\configMgrAdmin which has got SA rights on cm_FJW database

    I do see the folder structure in the untrusted domain server as c
    c:\sms\bin
    \sms\client
    \sms\scripts

    but no Logs folder 🙁

    Thoughts ?

    Reply
    • Have you opened RPC dynamic ports between remote MP in untrusted forest and Primary server. As per the log file the primary server is trying to access registry key of the remote server and that is not accessable .

  2. Thanks Anoop for taking the time to revert back!

    In my case, the firewall is disabled since I thought it would be a firewall issue (again this is lab 🙂

    • You didn’t answer to my second question regarding remote registry connectivity to untrusted domain MP server. 🙂

      Also, please make sure “Require the Site server to Initiate Connection” and the Site System installation account should have administrative rights on remote MP server.

      Regards

  3. Sorry man.. yes, that’s all getting connected – I just verified it again by connecting to the remote registry.
    I can see – Server01\HKLM\Software\Microsoft\SMS\MP etc..

    Also, I ensured that “Require the Site server to initiate connection” is checked. The account that I am using is seaworld\administrator (domain admins) – tried with a different account seaworld\admin both part of the local admin group on the remote MP box.

    Moreover, for MP connection account – I’ve assigned that account (part of Primary Server Domain) permission to CM DB and smsdbrole_MP role

    One thing, I’ve also noticed that I don’t see any SMS related services on remote MP machine. Also, when I try to connect from Component Manager (Configuration Manager Service Manager) Server01 – query service — it fails with “error communicating with the component”

    What next ?

      This could be the problem. You can’t connect to services.msc on server01? How about connecting to remote WMI of server01? Use Wbemtest to connect remote registry.

      Also can you perform telnet from your primary server to server01 on ports like 135, 445, 80 and RPC dynamic ports

  4. Hi Anoop,

    I need your suggestion here. In my environment i have issues like DP communication with primary server. When we check the Distmgr.log on the primary server
    below entries we can see, not sure what is the resolution for this. We have been struggling with this error more than a month now.

    ERROR DPConnection::ConnectWMI() – Failed to connect to Server.test.com error = 0x800706ba
    Failed to find a valid drive on the distribution point [“Display=\\Server.test.com\”]MSWNET:[“SMS_SITE=R00”]\\Server.test.com\
    GetContentLibLocation() failed
    Failed to get the content library path on server Server.test.com

    I have tried all the available solutions in the google but did not work anything. This check mark Require the site server to Initiate Connection to this Site System for the DP will helpful to resolve this.

    Awaiting for your response.

  5. Yes i am able to access WMI share of the DP from primary server. There is no drive letter changes happened. Strange thing is DP communication is working if we configure the DP with user account. But issue remained with system account.

  6. Hi Guys

    Just thought I’d add an important point that was hindering my communication between the forests, everything was working except the WMI communication, for us it was only functional one way based on the trust we have in place. In our case the Site server domain trusted the remote forest’s domain. The site server required port 88 opened up to the DC’s in the other forest. This is in addition to the documented SCCM required DC LDAP communication.

    Thought I should mention it somewhere as there is absolutely no mention of this fix anywhere on the internet.

  7. Hi Anoop:
    I have a Management Point – Distribution Point in an unstructured forest. Everything works fine but sometimes, suddenly I start to receive messages from some components. SMS_MP_CONTROL_MANAGER Site component manager failed to reinstall this component on this site system. Could not delete the registry key… reported error 997: overlapped I/O…

    I can connect to services.msc on remote server from Site System using the same credential used to install the components on the untrusted forest
    I can connect to remote WMI server
    I can telnet from primary server to remote server on ports like 135, 445, 80 and RPC dynamic ports
    I can connect to remote registry
    I have rebooted the remote server serveral times
    The option Require the site server to initiate connections is active

    Another issue: I can’t find the key suggested in the registry of the remote server, it’s looks like it was already deleted.

    What do you think is happening?
    Why do you thinks it happens after everything it’s been working fine for a period of time?

    Best Regards.

    Sincerely

    Ruben Garcia

    • Hi Ruben ! – Do you think, MP is working fine for some set of clients or it’s stopped working for all SCCM clients? If MP is working fine then you should ignore the error you mentioned about the deleting the reg key. You can manually try to delete the mentioned reg keys if needed but that is supported I guess.

      • Hi Anoop:

        Thanks for taking the time to reply.

        It’s stopped for all SCCM clients in the boundary he belongs to. All SCCM clients shows inactive in Client Activity and with and X in the icon status (I am using SCCM 1511).

        As I told you before, this start to happens some days after working fine. I am sure If I reinstall the MP Role in this server, everything will work, but some days later the problem will happens again. I have done it before several times.

        I would like to find out what is happening that is triggering this situation. The client is not installed in the server.

  8. Anoop,
    I’ve got about 20 DMZ servers in my test environment that have the necessary ports open, including port 80 for DP and MP communications. (only using for patching) Everything works fine as is, no issues. BUT moving into production there are some security concerns going forward with (currently not implemented yet) port 80 being open. Would this help with those security concerns?I would only need 80 going out, correct? Would that break the installation of the clients (doesn’t port 80 need to be open to install the client, or am i mistaken?
    I don’t think this would be nearly a security concern for us if port 80 was only outbound from our internal PSS to the DMZ clients.
    Thoughts?

  9. Hi Anoop,

    I am in the middle of setting up a Configuration Manager to support our DMZ by are installing a site system within the untrusted domain to act as the MP, DP and SUP.

    We are using Configuration Manager 2012 R2 SP1 with a Primary on our internal domain. The primary site server is running Windows 2008 R2 and the CM database is also installed locally. The forest disovery to the untrusted domain is working fine and the devices in the untrusted domain are listed within the Configuration Manager console (we have a one-way trust where the external (DMZ) domain trusts internal). We can resolve hostnames OK between the domains and the schema in the untrusted domain has been extended.

    I have opened the ports per technet article: https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/jchalfant/ports-required-for-a-site-system-in-dmz-in-configuration-manager/

    I am having issues however, with the Management Point role on the site server in the external domain. I can install the role OK, however, the MP does not communicate back with the SQL server on the primary on the internal domain. The following errors appear in the MP_GetAuth.log:

    MPDB ERROR – CONNECTION PARAMETERS
    SQL Server Name : xxx
    SQL Database Name : CM_V01
    Integrated Auth : True
    MPDB ERROR – EXTENDED INFORMATION
    MPDB Method : Init()

    Error Description : null
    OLEDB IID : null
    ProgID : null
    MPDB ERROR – INFORMATION FROM DRIVER
    null

    And this error in the MP_Status.log

    MPDB ERROR – CONNECTION PARAMETERS
    SQL Server Name : xxx
    SQL Database Name : CM_V01
    Integrated Auth : True
    MPDB ERROR – EXTENDED INFORMATION

    SQL Server Name : xxx
    Native Error no. : 18452
    Error State : 1
    Class (Severity) : 14

    We implemented the following workaround as recommended by Microsoft: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/2689646/system-center-2012-configuration-manager-incorrectly-uses-the-site-sys

    Would be grateful if you had any suggestions?

    Thanks
