Hi James, thanks. I can't however tell you how long the customer waited. We are now, for the time being, telling the technician on site to first connect the VPN and then restart the SMS Agent.

The machine I was using to test was already a registered client so it may have behaved differently but I seem to recall it taking 15-20 minutes after I connected VPN before it switched over. How long have you waited? If I were to guess, being that its not a registered client yet and it hasn’t downloaded a policy, maybe the connection state detection interval isn’t defined yet and by restarting the service, you’re just forcing it to run detection. I’m sure someone could chime in with better info for you but figured I’d share my experience. I’m not sure what the default interval is. I’d be interested to know though… From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David O'Brien Sent: Thursday, February 20, 2014 4:12 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [mssms] network check of configmgr client somebody? :) ------- David http://www.david-obrien.net From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Subject: [mssms] network check of configmgr client Date: Wed, 19 Feb 2014 15:56:29 +0100 Hi all, a quick sanity check. A client is being installed via standalone media, it's only got a internet connection, no connection to the Management point whatsoever. After installation a technician logs on and gets an internet IP, the configmgr client notices that it's not registered but also can't connect to the MP. Now the technician connects a VPN and joins the machine to the domain. The machine reboots. After reboot the machine is again not connected to the VPN. Technician logs on. Machine has an internet IP. Technician connects via VPN. What I now see is that the configmgr agent still thinks it's on the internet (although it's connected via VPN and INSIDE the boundaries). If the technician now restarts the SMS Agent Host the agent finds it's on the Intranet and successfully registers. Shouldn't the agent detect the network change right away and switch from internet to intranet? Or does that only happen AFTER the agent was able to register itself and not before?
