SMS: Duplicates in Inventory After Site Inventory Synchronization (250063)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.2
This article was previously published under Q250063 SYMPTOMS When a site is attached to another site, the inventory is
replicated to the parent site in a process called inventory synchronization.
You can also initiate this process by using the preinst
/syncparent command as outlined in the Microsoft Systems Management Server Resource Guide.
In some cases, this process can introduce duplicate
records into the inventory groups within the site database. This can cause
unpredictable results when you attempt to build reports or use the
Administrator console to view computer data. CAUSE This behavior occurs when data is partially inserted before
the error condition. The problem causes the SMS_INVENTORY_DATALOADER thread to
continue as if the site synchronization for the group had never taken place.
When this occurs, the next rows added for the group can have the same data key
value as the partially synchronized data. STATUS Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems
Management Server version 1.2.
