Install SCCM client automatically on New discovered servers

Question

Just want to check whats the best way of installing sccm client automatically on new machines that are being discovered in SCCM.

Can we have some query to detect all servers that are discovered and don’t have client to be added to a collection for auto install of sccm client? Or any other best way of achieving this?
Please advice (any pointer to query etc will be helpful)

Hi,

Thanks for posting in Microsoft MECM Q&A forum.

Based on my experience, the best way is to automatically use the client push for discovered computers.

1.Launch the configuration manager console, click on Administration, under Site Configuration, click on Sites, in the Sites list, select the site for which you want to configure automatic site-wide client push installation. On the top ribbon click on Client Installation Settings and click on Client Push Installation.

2.On the Client Push Installation Properties windows, click on General tab, check the box Enable automatic site-wide client push installation. Under System types, select Servers and Workstations. If you want the client to be installed on the ConfigMgr site servers then select Configuration Manager site system servers.

3.Click on Accounts tab, we need to add an user account with which the client installation happens. The account that you add must have the permissions to install the client software, in other words the user account should have the local admin rights in the machine.

For more detailed steps, please refer the below guidance:

Thanks for your time.

Best regards,
Simon
