A client push may not work. I ran into this at my current position. My predecessor used a GPO to tattoo the registry, and the client push would show as successful, it would not register with the site, as the registry entry would force it to point to a different site code.
We had to run a powershell script against machines showing up with no client to clear that key from the registry and restart the SMSAgent service.

Removing the GPO may not be enough because it’s not a traditional GPO in that it doesn’t set a policy but rather it actually tattoo’s the registry. There are no actual “policy” keys or values for ConfigMgr so the GPO sets the actual registry values used by the client and thus removing the GPO doesn’t do anything. A client push install should overwrite these values so I think you’re OK, but you may want to spot check the systems to be sure.

Removed it and did the push again and now the clients are installing. ________________________________ From: Jason Sandys<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: 4/14/2014 3:51 PM To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Subject: RE: [mssms] sccm client installation issues Client’s, once assigned, will never reassign themselves to another site. So, those old clients will continue to try to locate the resources from the old site. You’ll need to manually log in and reassign them or you can use client push to reinstall them which will reassign them also. You can’t actually use my script though as it only checks to ensure the client is assigned to the correct site but will not reassign them – There’s a technical reason why that’s not feasible during startup (but I don’t remember what it is off-hand). As for RESETKEYINFORMATION, as long as the client is joined to the domain, it can get the key information from AD with ConfigMgr 2012 so that option doesn’t really provide any value anymore (except for clients that can’t get to the domain info).
