A client’s assigned site is the primary site that creates the client policy to manage the device. Clients are always assigned to primary sites, even if they roam into another primary site or reside within the boundaries of a secondary site. The client’s installed site REFERS to the site that sent the client the client installation FILES to run CCMSetup.exe. For example, if you used the Client Push Installation Wizard, you can specify INSTALL the client software from a specified site and select any site in the hierarchy. The resident site refers to the site that owns the boundaries that the client CURRENTLY resides in. For example, this might be a secondary site of the client’s primary site. Or, it might be another primary site if the client is ROAMING and temporarily connected to a network that belongs to another site in the hierarchy.
