Hi,
Trying to install the Config Manager console on my laptop for remote management, however i cant get it to connect.
It errors with:
The Configuration Manager console cannot connect to the Configuration Manager site database. Verify the following:
• This computer has network connectivity to the SMS Provider computer.
• Your user account has Remote Activation permission on the Configuration Manager site server and the SMS Provider computer.
• The Configuration Manager console version is supported by the site server.
• You are assigned to at least one role-based administration security role.
• You have the following WMI permissions to the Root\SMS and Root\SMS\site_<site code> namespaces: Execute Methods, Provider Write, Enable Account, and Remote Enable.
I have checked all 5 steps and comply with everything.
1. Same network, same subnet, same everything
2. Checked DCOM limits and my domain user account is a member of the SMS admins group
3. Took the console setup from the site servers tools folder so id hope so!
4. My Domain account has been assigned full administrator role in SCCM
5. Yep member of SMS Admins, also tried explicitly adding my domain user account and giving it the correct permissions.
Still no joy.
SCCM Server is an all in 1 SCCM 2012R2 SP1 box.
My laptop is a Win 8.1 Enterprise.
ConfigMgrAdminUISetup.log shows absolutely nothing of interest.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
