SCCM Client Push to XP SP3

I am having issues in using client push method in SCCM 2007 for my Windows XP SP3 clients. However i am able to install clients manually. I have checked the prerequisites and in my opinion all of them are ok to go

Services currently running on Xp SP3 that is required to push client from configuration manager are:

Automatic Updates
Background intelligence Transfer service
Remote Registry
Terminal Services
Windows Installer
Windows Management Instrumentation

All the above services are running fine. Secondly i have also installed MSXML6.0, WIMGAPI, MSRDC.

Firewall is disabled on all clients
Sccmadmin account is part of domain admin group.

I am not sure what am i missing and how to rectify the issue. Can someone please guide me about it.

Thanks

If firewall is disable and all required update are installed on client, so you should able to access client network share from sccm, try from sccm to access \\pcname\admin$ if it's fine and accessible, so you need to verify the following:

1- check client installation account that you use to install agent.
2- check client push installation account also "check password"
3- check WebDAV Configuration and site system configuration "IIS"
4- from the client machine, that fail to install agent, plz send to me the following logs:
ccmsetup.log
ccmsetup.msi.log
Available in C:\windows\system32\ccm
Hello,

Please read thoroughly the following kb article from Microsoft http://support.microsoft.com/kb/925282 and check that you have enabled also the Remote Registry, Server and File and Printer Sharing services on your clients.
The most useful log you're going to find is at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Configuration Manager\Logs and the filename ccm.log.  This is on the SCCM Server itself.  This log file will show you all the reqeusts it's made to push clients out, and more importantly, give you errors as to why it was unsuccessful.

Thanks a-jaleel, gsimos and lesterclayton for your replies. I had a look at the logs and i am having issues with the user account i have created for client installation. My user is part of domain admin group as well as i have also my user account to Administrator group on my client computer as well.

I am out of ideas at the moment and dont know how to rectify this issue.
Can anyone of you advise me few tips.
Can you verify that the workstation on which this problem is occuring is properly joined to the domain?  You can verify this by trying to log in with user user who's never logged on before (thus, not being able to log on with cached credentials).

Do you have a snippet of the ccm.log file which relates to this machine?  Is it OK to share it with us?  If you do, please also advise of the machine name so that we can find the relevant lines.

Does the machine itself have a c:\windows\ccmsetup\ccmsetup.log file?  If yes, that too would be handy.
I'm still waiting logs to check your issue.
Thanks
Hi,

               When you try to push the client from SCCM, please have a look at the ccm.log and post the same thing here with the client name.

> Basic question, are you configured the boundaries and are you able to discover the machine using AD system discovery by providing the domain name.
> Can you see these clients machine name in the SCCM console as reported?
> Provided verify whether you have enabled the client push installation and selected client options.
> Check the network access account and permission
> Try to push a different clients and check the status
> Hv you extended the schema and SCCM information are published in AD.

Regards,
Ren.
