SMS: All Hardware Inventory Goes to BADMIFS Folder After Upgrade from SMS 1.2 to SMS 2.0 (293225)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0
This article was previously published under Q293225 SYMPTOMS
After you upgrade from Systems Management Server (SMS) version 1.2 to SMS version 2.0, all new hardware inventory files may go to the BADMIFS folder. When you view Resource Explorer, it may not display any inventory for the client computers. The DataLoader log file (Dataldr.log) may contain the following entry:
Processing file 7LXAWNST.MIF
Processing machine MACHINE
File successfully parsed. Processing item (GUID =
GUID:D9343DC0-254F-11D3-84BA-00105AA9F6DE)
CGroup::DefineAttributes - will widen SYSTEM column SMSID from 8 to 48
CSqlTable::CreateIndex - these columns are already indexed
CDefinedGroup::WidenDefinedAttribute - could not change data type.
CGroup::DefineAttributes - unable to widen attributes
CGroup::DefineGroupAndAttributes - couldn't define attributes for SYSTEM
CMachineSource::InsertMachine - could not validate machine
Cannot process MIF X7LXAWNST.MIF, moving it to
C:\SMS\inboxes\dataldr.box\BADMIFS\W2A8VMG9.MIF
CAUSE
The Inventory Dataloader is unable to widen a column in a table and create an index on that column because another index already exists for that column. Removing this index causes this action to succeed.
WORKAROUND
Contact Microsoft Product Support Services (PSS) for assistance with removing the index from the SMS database.
