SMS: IPX Address Not Inventoried When You Use TCP/IP (155503)


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 Q155503

SYMPTOMS

If you do not use a NetWare server as the Systems Management Server logon server, the IPX address of a Windows client computer (using both TCP/IP and IPX protocols) is not inventoried.

The TCP/IP address is inventoried; however, if TCP/IP is detected, the IPX retrieval step is skipped.

NOTE: This problem does not occur with Windows NT client computers and clients that are inventoried by a NetWare server. In both these cases, IP and IPX addresses are retrieved successfully.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 1.2. This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. Service Pack for Microsoft Systems Management Server version 1.2.
