/ SCCM 2012 SP1 Step by Step Guide Part 6: Boundaries and Discovery
Back to main menu
Part 6 describes the configuration of boundaries, boundary groups and discovery methods
1. Boundary
A boundary can be defined as one of the following:
IP Subnet
IP Range
Active Directory Site
A Config Mgr Site Server (Distribution Point) is then associated with a boundary via Boundary Group. This allows you to control which DPs can serve the boundaries in your organisation (and control Config Mgr traffic over WAN links)
Open Administration/Overview/Hierarchy Configuration.
Right click on Boundaries and select Create Boundary

Right click on Boundaries and select Create Boundary
There are several options to choose when choosing your Boundary type. It is a good idea to use IP ranges or subnets. This allows you greater control of your Config Mgr environment. However, in this case we will keep it simple and choose AD Site.
Choose Active Directory Site and browse AD to choose the site
Right click on Boundary Groups and select New
Enter Name of Group in General tab
Select References tab. Tick the box to use this Boundary Group for site assignment and add your Config Mgr Site System
2. Discovery:
Computers in your organisation are "discovered" in some way so that we can easily deploy a client to them. The most straightforward way to do this is by configuring Active Directory System Discovery.
Open Administration/Overview/Hierarchy Configuration.
Select Discovery Methods and double-click AD System Discovery.
Tick the box to enable and use the yellow star to add Active Directory OUs as required (or you can choose to discover at Domain level).
Confirm that you want to Discover immediately
Clients will begin to appear in Asset and Compliance/Devices almost immediately. Now you can start to install the Config Mgr client on these devices.
Users are discovered by configuring Active Directory User Discovery
Add required OUs
