Run Command On Workstation Job Doesn't Refresh.... (140051)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.1
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.2
This article was previously published under Q140051 SYMPTOMS
The following incorrect behavior applies only to "Run Command On
Workstation" jobs and does not happen with "Share Package On Server" jobs.
When you take an existing package, one that has previously been distributed
to a machine group, and try to refresh that package on a new group that
contains a partial list of servers from the original group, the
distribution servers are not refreshed.
The SMS Despooler processed the instruction file but fails to decompress
the package and copy any files.
This occurs when only the "Put on Specified Distribution Servers" is
selected in the Distribute phase of the Job Details window.
NOTE: If you select "Refresh Existing Distribution Servers" the package is
distributed to all the original distribution servers regardless of the
machine group selected in the drop down box within that dialog.
WORKAROUND
If it is necessary to refresh certain distribution servers, Select "Refresh
Existing Distribution Servers" in the Distribute Phase of the Job Details
window. This refreshes all original distribution servers for this package.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server
versions 1.1 and 1.2. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
