Sccm Secondary Sites and Clients not Assigned to Secondary Sites

Hi Guys,

I just finished installing 1 Primary and 4 Secondary Sites.

I have all the Boundaries setup properly using Forest Search and IP Subnet Boundaries for corresponding Secondary Sites.

When I look at my Devices I can see 750 devices which all assigned to Primary site instead of they assigned in to their own Site.

My questions:

1- Is this normal?

2- When we deploy package or OSD those clients set to My Primary Site will they download the content from Primary Site or Their Own Site??

Regards,

Gokhan

Hi @GokhanCil-7671,

Thanks for posting in Microsoft Q&A forum.

1) Yes, it is normal. The clients assigned to the secondary site still report to the primary site.
After installing the CM clients, the clients need to join the primary site before we can manage them. At this moment, we cannot assign the clients to the secondary site.
We could assign the clients to the sites that we want after we successfully install the clients and determine which site manages the computer.
If we use automatic site assignment, the clients will find the appropriate site based on its network location.
For more information, please review this article:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/mem/configmgr/core/clients/deploy/assign-clients-to-a-site#automatic-site-assignment

2) For the second question, the clients will download the installation source form the distribution point on their own site if they have been assigned to them.

Hope the above information can help you.

Clients are never assigned to a secondary site (and never will be). Secondary sites are extensions of a primary site and clients use roles at a secondary site based on their location, but this is never an assignment.
