After installing SCCM 2012 Configuration Manager based on tutorial from this website:

http://www.windows-noob.com/forums/index.php?/topic/5452-using-system-center-2012-configuration-manager-part-1-installation-cas/

Then I tried to install SCCM client on clients pc's but the installation not succeed, and after days of searching & Googling, i discovered the problem, and really i was shocked because it was so silly:

the problem was:  my SCCM 2012 server cannot be resolved in DNS, and if i ping my sccm server dns name, it cannot be resolved.

- How i discovered:
     - I test accessing CMApplicationCatalog website through dns name like follow:
              http://SccmServerName/CMApplicationCatalog
but i couldn't

then i type same URL but with instead I but the server IP and it worked.
After that i added the server name to our DNS server, then try to install the client, then it installed successfully.

some useful logs location that can give you good information:

- On client PC you can check the following log file:
C:\Windows\ccmsetup

- On SCCM 2012 configuration Manager you can check the following log file:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\Logs\ccm.log

- one useful tool i used to trace log files:
Configuration Manager Trace Log Tool

other useful website that i tried their solutions:
- http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sr/configmanagerdeployment/thread/ae03cd82-96e9-4a28-9fbb-6475a029af12
actually the following post lead to solve my problem:

0x80072ee7 = ERROR_INTERNET_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED, so it seems to be a name resolution problem.
