SMS: Copy-Queue Causes "Not Logged in" Requests on NetWare Servers (243681)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0
  • Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0 SP1
This article was previously published under Q243681

SYMPTOMS

Every time a hardware or software inventory is run, the SMS client generates a "Not logged in" request on any Novell NetWare server on which the user has one or more drive mappings. This behavior can stress the NetWare servers.

CAUSE

The requests are generated by the Copy-Queue manager while a check for existing connections to the Client Access Point (CAP) is performed. This occurs each time a hardware or software inventory notifies Copy-Queue to move the resulting inventory file to the CAP.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Systems Management Server version 2.0. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

MORE INFORMATION

To install the hotfix:
  1. Copy the Q243681.exe file from the disk on which you received it to a share on your network. This is a Microsoft Windows Installer file that updates specific files on your site server.
  2. Log on to your site server using an account with administrative privileges.
  3. On the site server, close the SMS Administrator console.
  4. Run the file that you copied in step 1 and follow the directions in the wizard.
Note that you can run the Q243681.exe file silently by using the /s switch.

NOTE: The default Client Configuration Installation Manager (CCIM) polling interval is 23 hours. Therefore, it may take up to 23 hours for the hotfix files to be propagated to the clients. To speed up this process, you can stop and restart the SMS Client service on each client. You can also create a software distribution for one of the Resource Kit tools (Setevnt.exe or Cliutils.exe) along with the appropriate parameter(s) to start a CCIM work cycle. For information about the proper syntax to use with these tools, see the Resource Kit documentation.
