Unable to move Clients bewteen Groups in SEPM

This issue has been solved. See solution.
Hi,
I'm running SEPM MR3 on a Windows 2003 R2 server with the client machines having SEP MR3 client.
I've tried moving some of the client PC's from a Group created by a package deployment and a Group imported from Active Directory and i receive the following error message:
"Console Error : The client cannot be moved to the Active Diirectory group."
Does anyone have any idea about this?
I'm also trying to move a server that has been demoted from being a Domain Controller to our servers group (which is where it is already in Active Directory) but it won't move groups in SEPM eithe rmanually or by Synching to the AD.
Cheers,
Rob

You should move the accounts in Active Directory and then sync the SEPM group.
No that was the problem. I'd already moved them to the right place in AD but after synchronising it wouldn't change where they were located in the SEPM console client structure or let me move them manually in SEPM either.
It may have been due to us demoting that server as a domain controller as we had just set up a new one.
I ended up removing all of the Groups and reimporting from AD. Now all the servers are where they are supposed to be.
Thanks for your reply though.
Cheers,
Rob.
Glad that you resolved the issue. I was running into the same thing, some machines won't show up in SEPM or will show up without a green dot within the AD import and will show up again in the default group in SEPM.
I moved the aformentioned accounts in AD to an OU that doesn't sync with SEPM, resynced SEPM then moved the accounts back in AD where they were supposed to be and resynced SEPM again and the accounts showed up in the right groups where they are supposed to be.
I have the exact same problem, when I reimport the struture from the AD it only helps for the current clients. When you get new client either after reimage af machine or installing on a server some of them are still stuck in the defult group even that they are down somewhere in the AD structure.
The only temporary solution is reimport AD
I havent found a stable solution for this one yet.
Would you like to reply?
