So I have a SEPM on a network with very few (< 50) clients (all servers).
The SEPM is running 12.1.6 with an embedded DB and is synced to AD.
The clients are running a mix of RU5 and RU6.
Of the 50 machines on this network, about half appear in the SEPM as is they have never connected. But on the client I not only have a green dot, but SECARS works, in troubleshooting it shows me connected to the server with a "Last Connected" of under ten minutes. Also, if I make a change to the policy on the SEPM, it is soon reflected on the client.
So the client thinks everything is just peachy...but still, the SEPM will not show any thing other than the object it found when syncing with AD.
I dug into the embedded database and can see that it "sees" my client in the Default Group, but it does not show up on the SEPM in the Default Group either.
I just don't get it...all I can guess is that the DB is corrupt in some way, that is why I am thinking that a Disaster Recovery rebuild (I have all the files and cert backed up) and a fresh DB may be the easiest fix.
Before I do that, any other suggestions?
Thanks!!
