Hi,
Here's our current SCCM setup:
We have two separate Primary sites, one in our London office, the other in our Hong Kong office.
The London Primary site covers servers and desktops in our London, Paris, Dusseldorf and Milan offices.
The Hong Kong Primary site covers servers and desktops in our Hong Kong office.
Each office has a different subnet.
We've decided to get rid of the Primary SCCM site in Hong Kong and use the London Primary site to cover the region.
In order to do so here's my proposal:
• Set up boundaries in London SCCM to cover Hong Kong office as appropriate, and remove the boundaries from the Hong Kong SCCM, to avoid a boundary overlap issue.
• Establish BDP location in Hong Kong and assign it to the boundaries created. Create Advertisement on Hong Kong SCCM with the batch file as detailed below (batch file will point clients to London SCCM).
• When the advertisement runs, essentially the client will do a repair, and at the same time attempt to reset the trusted key to allow it to join the London site. You need to reset the trusted key on the client because otherwise it won’t try and join the London site, nor will the London server accept the request to join.

My problem is that when i try to create a BDP on a hong Kong server from the London SCCM Site Config Manager Console, the option to create a BDP is greyed out in the New Site System Server Wizard (standard Distribution Point is available).
If i attempt to create a BDP on a server in London, Paris, Dusseldorf or Milan, i am able to do so, the option is not greyed out.
Also, i tried manually running the batch file on a server in Hong Kong to see if it changed the clients parameters to point towards the London SCCM server, but it hasn't worked !
Long description i know, but any ideas ?
Thanks,
