Answer 1

Hi,

If you have extended already the Active Directory Schema and published the management point, you don't need to specify the MP information in the command line, otherwise, you can add /logon to top the installation if a version of the client already exists on the computer.

It's recommended to push the client from the console, you can manage better and target only machines without ConfigMgr client.

• Group Policy installation
• Client installation methods in Configuration Manager
• Schema extensions for Configuration Manager

Hi,

There is no absolutely correct syntax for the command, it depends on your own SCCM environment, usually a command like this works:
ccmsetup.exe /mp=<management point> /logon SMSSITECODE=<site code> FSP = <fallback status point>

Specifies the /logon, the client installation should stop if any version of the System Center Configuration Manager client is already installed.
