SOLVED Permission help with sccm client on workstation

[jblackburn]

I have a Server 2012 R2 server that's not domain joined which is used for remote access management.
I have managed to install the SCCM client and I can see MP which is correct. In sccm I can see the heartbeat. I believe the issue is to do with permissions of the sccm server sending files to this server.
On the sccm box if I try to connect to this server through windows explorer it asks for credentials. On the server if I connect to the sccm box it will go through.

Anything obvious I'm missing. I'm not sure what log I need to check to help me resolve.

On the sccm box if I try to connect to this server through windows explorer it asks for credentials.

It's normal, the server is not a domain member. What is exactly your need?

The server isn't getting files for updates in the ccmcache folder but its feeding back to the sccm box as far as I can tell. I have a feeling its a permissions issue.
What log file would best show this so I can confirm and how does permissions on a non domain join box work? All my SCCM accounts are domain accounts

Before you install SCCM client agent on workgroup computer, you must know the following things.

• The workgroup system should be able to resolve the FQDN of management point.
• During client installation, logged-on user must have local administrator rights on the workgroup computer.
• Configure network access account prior to installing client agent.
• Adding entries of distribution point and management point in hosts file of workgroup computer should help.
• Most of all Client push installation is not possible.
• Ensure ports requirements are met using this guide.

I wasn't approving the server. Once approved its got a green tick and looks to be working. Thanks for the help and the guides
