We have a new SCEP 2002 installation on a new AD domain, and we're having no luck at all deploying clients. Whether we deploy them from the Configuration Console (right-click, Install Client) or manually (copy the files, then run ccmsetup.exe), the ccmsetup.log gives multiple errors.
Boundary Group Troubleshooting The boundaries and boundary groups are set correctly. We have an AD site named "Site01". When we run 'nltest /dsgetsite' on a Windows 10 box, we get the response 'Site01'.
We added the Site01 as a boundary in SCEP, and we added that boundary to a boundary group, also named Site01. In our Distribution Point, we added the Site01 boundary group in the Boundary Groups tab.
Connectivity checks From the Windows 10 client, we can browse to http://scepserver (note: we're using http to rule out any SSL issues). We can also browse to http://scepserver/CCM_Client and its subfolders. http://scepserver/sms_mp gives us a 403.2 forbidden error, but I believe that's to be expected. The ccm.log on the server indicates that our client push account can reach the clients admin$ share, and the folder c:\windows\ccmsetup populates when we push the client.
ccmsetup.log review Rather than attaching the whole ccmsetup.log file, here are excerpts I think are important. I've bolded a few key items.

I don't know why it's using 'MobileClient.tcf' for its configuration. This is a regular Windows 10 system.
Other than that, most of the errors indicate that the SCCM client can't connect to some part of the SCEP server's web site. Or is that the SCEP server's WMI namespace? Does anything in the log files point you toward a specific issue? Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: We also added the client push account to the local administrators group on the SCEP server and the client. We ran wbemtest and get-wmiobject from the client to retrieve class_win32 from the SCEP server.
The
MobileClient.tcfandFailed to connect to machine policy namespace. 0x8004100eerror is standard. This is the line that I believe should be focused on.It suggests your device either isn't falling into a boundary group or there's a misconfiguration in the boundary groups as it can't correctly find the DPs.
I would do the following:
Use a fallback siteoption in your site's hierarchy settings. (Administration -> Site configuration -> Sites -> Your Site -> Hierarchy Settings)
