TITLE   :Scheduler Takes a Long Time To Activate Jobs
PRODUCT :Microsoft Systems Management Server
PROD/VER:winnt:1.0,1.1
OPER/SYS:
KEYWORDS:kbnetwork kbScheduler kbsmsAdmin smsadmin smsscheduler

======================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Systems Management Server versions 1.0, 1.1 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


SYMPTOMS
========

When activating a Run Command On Workstation job that has no Run phase (only a
Send phase and a Distribute phase) the scheduler updates the JobDetails table
one row at a time for each computer in the job target.

For large sites this causes long delays in the job activation. For example, on a
site with 3,000 clients the scheduler can take up to 30 minutes to activate a
job sent to *|*|*.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server
versions 1.0 and 1.1. This problem has been corrected in Systems Management
Server version 1.2.
