SMS: Missing Records in WorkstationStatus Table Generate Badmif (199729)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.2
This article was previously published under Q199729 SYMPTOMS
If, for an undetermined reason, there is no existing record in the WorkstationStatus table when dataloader attempts to load a MIF, the MIF will be moved to the Badmifs directory. The following appears in the datalodr.log: (This example shows SQL tracing enabled.)

WORKAROUND
Two options are available to work around this problem:
- The badmifs exhibiting this particular problem can be moved back to the process directory. Dataloader will process them correctly the second time.
- The badmifs exhibiting this particular behavior could be deleted (the information will be lost), and the next inventory cycle should process properly.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 1.2.
