Our company recently set up a Central site with two primary children, one for servers one for workstations. The workstation primary has several more primaries under it (geographically dispersed). All of the parent see their children (in addresses) but none of the children see their parents, they just see: site# - (unknown).
All of the parent/children are ina Global group, they are all in each others local admin group. I have added them to the local siteservertositeserver groups, still no love. Is this a normal behaviour? If not, what do I need to look for?

Cheers

I can remember that I had the same effect at a huge customer site with SMS 2003. Never figured out why the site address had been unknown, but in the sender.log you could see that communication is working. If you don't think that information exchange doesn't work in both directions, I wouldn't bother too much about it. It might just be a nice "feature". As long as it's sure that the machine accounts have the necessary admin rights and information is getting up and down the hierarchy, you should be fine.

Could it be an issue with DNS resolution, FQDN or similar? Check out the site configuration. Maybe you've got different settings that are causing this effect.

Yeah, I've seen that before myself. Never did figure it out either. Since Sender was working fine, and the Site Status was all normal, I just ignored it, too. Sometimes there are just other things to worry about instead of a display message!
