Thanks Eswar. Which reminds me – Roger, is there a typo on your oft quoted page of 003 where 103 should be?

I think that you have a really good point. There really is no discovery enabled in this environment, which was the design as implemented. I was expecting that a workstation joining SCCM regardless as to its status would have been able to issue a discovery regardless as to the status of the heartbeat discovery. Or does HB being enabled affect client policy to turn this on?

Do you have Heartbeat Discovery disabled (it’s enabled by default)? Without Heartbeat Discovery, you will not see the “Discovery Data Collection Cycle” on your Agents… Regards Roger From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jason Wallace Sent: Mittwoch, 13. November 2013 12:15 To: [email protected] Subject: [mssms] Trigger Discovery Howdy folks I'm planning to ask what could very well be the dumbest question of the week so here goes: We have SCCM 2012 SP1 deployed (no CUs) and we do not have any form of server side discovery. I am getting into a state where discovery records for some computers are ending up with BLANK MAC addresses. As you can imagine this is having a somewhat interesting effect on my OS build task sequences! So, I thought why not trigger a discovery from the client to ensure that the MAC address is correct but it errored. When I then went through the list of available actions: Software Metering Usage Report Cycle Action ID: {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000106} Request & Evaluate Machine Policy Action ID: {8EF4D77C-8A23-45c8-BEC3-630827704F51} Updates Source Scan Cycle Action ID: {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000113} Request & Evaluate User Policy Action ID: {3A88A2F3-0C39-45fa-8959-81F21BF500CE} Hardware Inventory Collection Cycle Action ID: {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000101} Software Inventory Collection Cycle Action ID: {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000102} Application Global Evaluation Task Action ID: {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000123} Software Updates Assignments Evaluation Cycle Action ID: {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000108} MSI Product Source Update Cycle Action ID: {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000107} Standard File Collection Cycle Action ID: {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000104} and the famous 103 entry n'est pas la So - where has it gone? how do I get it back? See - told you. Dumb question
