Does that mean:

Machines that do not roam, can find all content on distribution points and 
roaming machines can find some content on distribution points,  but not all 
packages or content?

Are these machines all in the same boundary group with the same referenced 
Distribution Point?  Do you have a fallback DP?

Customer is using IP Ranges.

They work for Software A and B on machine C, but only for Software A on machine 
D. All on the same network and boundary.

What kind of boundaries are you using?

Correct, clients look for content locations dynamically when content is 
requested.

Ok, checked now.
Hearbeat is once a week. But that has nothing to do with it, right? The client 
should go look for content locations when an installation is being triggered.

I had a look at one client being affected by this issue, that installs other 
software just fine, but hangs at 0% download for an other software (for the 
last 4 weeks!). Checked with R2 Deployment Monitoring Tool and it tells me for 
that Deployment there are no Content Locations found.

This doesn't happen, as far as I know, to clients not leaving and re-entering 
boundaries.

ok, I misread that. I was thinking home network as the customers primary 
location in the office.

home office.. meaning base office.

Or am I missing something?

"Obviously we did not create boundaries for their home offices"

you need to. define them as fast. no boundary = slow boundary

Also, why "Obviously". It has always always been obvious to me you must define 
boundaries.

But shouldn't the client automatically check for new content locations without 
any other cycles running?
Looks like the clients sometimes think they're still in an unmanaged network 
location.

How is heartbeat configured?

What happens if you run a data discovery cycle on a client that has roamed?

Hi,

anyone an idea? Can't see why clients wouldn't realize when they're in a new 
boundary...

Hi all,

experiencing a weird issue again at a customer.
Their users roam nearly daily between onsite and their home offices.
Obviously we did not create boundaries for their home offices, we did though 
for the VPN connections and configured them as slow to only get Security 
Updates.

What happens is that those machines get a required deployment policy to install 
something while at home connected via VPN. It's obviously not being executed, 
because of the slow boundary.
They get in to work the next day and are now in the company's fast boundary. A 
lot of machines are now stuck at Downloading 0% for a lot of apps.

Locationservices.log is saying "Calling back with empty distribution points 
list" and "Failed to return the distribution points (0x87d00215)" and then 
"Error invoking LSInvokeCallback".

Clients not roaming boundaries do not have these problems.

The Deployment Monitoring Tool tells me what above made me expect, that the 
client didn't find any content location. The boundaries are configured 
correctly, I just checked the same application with a client that doesn't roam 
and the content got downloaded right away.

Has any of you saw issues with machines roaming locations and then failing to 
download content?
Am I thinking wrong or shouldn't the client realize it's in a managed boundary 
and get the content location right away?

Thanks.
