You set the assigned site for a Configuration Manager 2007 client by calling the SMSClientClass object SetAssignedSite method. You get the current site assigned for a client by calling the SMSClientClass object GetAssignedSite method.

To get and set the assigned site for a Configuration Manager client

  1. Get the Configuration Manager client configuration object (SMSClientClass).

  2. From the SMSClientClass object, call GetAssignedSite to get the client's assigned site.

  3. From the SMSClientClass object, call SetAssignedSite to set the client's assigned site.

Example

The following example method sets the assigned site for a Configuration Manager client by using the SMSClientClass object SetAssignedSite method. It also displays the current and updated assigned site using GetAssignedSite.

For information about calling the sample code, see How to Call Configuration Manager COM Automation Objects.

Visual Basic Script  Copy Code 
Sub SetAssignedSite (newSite)

	On Error Resume Next

	Dim oSMSClient

	Set oSMSClient = CreateObject ("Microsoft.SMS.Client")

	If Err.Number <>0 Then 
	wscript.echo "Could not create SMS Client Object - quitting"
	Exit Sub
	End If

	' Set the assigned site.
	WScript.Echo "Current site: " & oSMSClient.GetAssignedSite
	oSMSClient.SetAssignedSite newSite,0
	Wscript.Echo "Assigned site is now: " & oSMSClient.GetAssignedSite

	Set oSMSClient=Nothing
End Sub
C#  Copy Code 
public void SetAssignedSite(string site)
{
	try
	{
		SmsClientClass client = new SmsClientClass();

		Console.WriteLine ("Current site: " + client.GetAssignedSite());

		client.SetAssignedSite(site,0);

		Console.WriteLine ("Assigned site is now :" + client.GetAssignedSite());
}
	catch (COMException e)
	{
		Console.WriteLine("Failed to set assigned site: " + e.Message);
