SMS: Resource Explorer Shows Blank Hardware Inventory Classes (202940)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0
This article was previously published under Q202940 SUMMARY
In Resource Explorer, when you are viewing hardware for a Systems Management Server 2.0 client, some hardware inventory classes that are displayed may not contain data, although other clients display data for the same hardware inventory classes.
This behavior can be seen in the following scenarios: - A child site reporting to the parent has more options enabled in the SMS_def.mof file than other child sites also reporting to the parent, or more options enabled than are on the parent site itself.
- A client that is assigned to multiple sites uses the principal site's SMS_def.mof file. If this site has enabled more classes in its SMS_def.mof file than the other site(s) that the client is assigned to, this problem may occur.
