SMS: Failed Connection To Software Metering Server Does Not Differentiate Between Online and Offline Clients (235786)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0
This article was previously published under Q235786 SYMPTOMS
Software Metering clients, both in offline and online mode, connect to the Software Metering server on a regular basis to transfer data. If the primary Software Metering server is unavailable, the client might continually try to connect to it rather than try the next available server.
This behavior is the same for both offline and online Software Metering clients.
However, there is no need for offline clients to continually try to connect to their Software Metering server when there are others available to connect to. Offline clients only have to upload saved Software Metering data that can be sent to any available Software Metering server, they do not have to wait for the primary server to become available.
CAUSE
Because licenses are allocated to Software Metering servers based on demand, online Software Metering clients should stay with a Software Metering server once assigned. This logic also applies to offline Software Metering clients.
