Different Language Site Reporting Not Supported in SMS (126351)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.0
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.1
This article was previously published under Q126351 SYMPTOMS
You cannot report from one site to another using different language
versions of Systems Management Server version 1.0. For example, a
German SMS site cannot report to a parent French SMS site.
CAUSE
Language strings are localized and cannot be accurately converted by the
receiving site. Converting the language strings (used in packages,
comments, events, etc.) requires single-byte to multi-byte conversion.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, configure the site hierarchies as follows:
- Use the same language version of SMS.
- Configure the code-page and country settings to appropriate languages.
NOTE: In this situation, all needed event codes, error codes, etc.,
required by the system, are presented in a consistent way without any
conversion.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management
Server versions 1.0 and 1.1. We are researching this problem and will post
new information in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
