Configuration Manager 2007 client computers can be configured for Internet or intranet management. When the computer detects a network change, it can switch from communicating with the Internet-based site systems to the site systems on the intranet, and vice versa.

You can use the ConfigMgr Connection Type property displayed in Configuration Manager to confirm whether the client computer is currently managed on the intranet or on the Internet.

Important
The ConfigMgr Connection Type does not immediately update if you add or remove the Internet-based management point configuration on the client. You must restart the client for this value to update and reflect the correct value.

To determine if a client computer is currently managed on the intranet or on the Internet

  1. Navigate to Configuration Manager in the Control Panel of the client computer, and then double-click to open its properties.

  2. On the General tab, locate the property ConfigMgr Connection Type.

  3. View the value to determine whether the client computer is currently managed on the intranet or currently managed on the Internet:

    • Currently Internet: The client is configured for Internet or intranet management and is currently managed on the Internet.

    • Currently intranet: The client is configured for Internet or intranet management and is currently managed on the intranet.

    Note
    If you see the value Always Internet, the client is configured for Internet-only connections and cannot be managed as an intranet client. If you see the value Always intranet, the client is not configured for Internet-based client management and so cannot be managed on the Internet.

  4. Click OK.
