SMS 2003 Problem

Hi

We have 5 Windows NT Domains and have installed SMS into on of these. There are two way trusts between all domains.

I have installed the SMS Admin Console in one of the domains and am trying to connect to the SMS Server however I recieve the following

The Site Server Cannot Be Contacted. Please Enter A New Site Server Name

And the Event Log is full of

DCOM was unable to communicate with the computer %SMS Server Name% using any of the configure protocols

Please Help

I need to be able to use the Admin COnsole From all of the domains and not just the one it resides in,

Thanks In Advance

I dont think you will be able to do this in windows NT. YOu will have to physically go to each server, and run its Admin Console locally from that server, I dont think you can do it remotely, it is prohibited.

Actually, I think if you have all the domains including and acceptible for remote admin, one SMS Server should be able to control them all, from the SMS Local Console.

That's how a basic Enterprise is supposed to work.

The SMS Client though, has to exist on each server, regardless of domain, and it must be configured to allow the SMS Server to control that machine as a machine, not just as a domain.
