Simulating a simple client request to IIS on the management point

We are running several other websites on our server that hosts the sms website. We
use host headers and by following the steps below found out that we did not have a
host header on the default website with the management point name.

From the microsoft client faq:

Q. None of my
clients are receiving any policies. What should I check? (Added February 27, 2004)
A.

Simulate a simple client request to IIS on the management point. First, on the Start menu,
click Run and type http://<management
point name
>/sms_mp/.sms_aut?mplist.
If you see a blank screen instead of an error message, the request is successful.
Next, on the Start menu, click Run and type

http://<management
point name
>/sms_mp/.sms_aut?mpcert.
If the request is successful, you will see a long list of numbers and letters. Finally,
run the MPGetPolicy tool from the SMS Toolkit1, available on the
Microsoft Download site
. If all of these tests fail, verify that your management
point has been installed correctly. For more information about verifying the successful
installation of a management point, see “Site Systems Frequently Asked Questions”
on Microsoft TechNet.
