Hi Folks. Bing-Fu or Technet is not helping. Here is my issue, hope you can help...
SCCM 2012 SP1 CU3 Site Server computer account is in the local Administrators group on the DC Trying to push client from the wizard in the console. YES I checked the tickbox for Install on DC The domain controllers are not in the local domain or forest...trusts are: external non-transitive and external non-transitive at the domain to domain level. Outgoing forest trust is transitive as is incoming forest trust. We already successfully manage all member servers in that domain with SCCM and have for a long time. ISSUE: SCCM connects to admin$ but not to WMI, here is the snippet of the CCM.LOG ---> Attempting to connect to administrative share '\\DOMAINCONTROLLER\admin$' using account 'LOCALDOMAIN\SCCM_CLIENT_PUSH_ACCOUNT' SMS_CLIENT_CONFIG_MANAGER 5/7/2014 2:13:23 PM 5980 (0x175C) ---> WNetAddConnection2 failed (LOGON32_LOGON_NEW_CREDENTIALS) using account LOCALDOMAIN\SCCM_CLIENT_PUSH_ACCOUNT (00000005) SMS_CLIENT_CONFIG_MANAGER 5/7/2014 2:13:23 PM 5980 (0x175C) ---> Attempting to connect to administrative share '\\DOMAINCONTROLLER\admin$' using machine account.

SMS_CLIENT_CONFIG_MANAGER 5/7/2014 2:13:24 PM 5980 (0x175C) I have never in my career of 17 years in SCCM managed a domain controller as a client on purpose. So I am sure I'm missing something.
