DOCUMENT:Q162022 25-JUL-2001 [sms] TITLE :SMS: Client Inventory Fails After Applying SMS 1.2 SP1 PRODUCT :Microsoft Systems Management Server PROD/VER::1.2 SP1,2.0 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbnetwork kbInventory smsinvkbfixlist ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Systems Management Server versions 1.2 SP1, 2.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== After applying Systems Management Server 1.2 Service Pack 1, client inventory that previously functioned correctly while running Smsls or Runsms.bat may stop responding at three to four percent during client inventory. A verbose output of the inventory agent shows different messages, based on the type of client. Client computers running Windows 3.1, Windows for Workgroups, or Windows 95 running the Smsls.scr logon script from a NetWare logon server will see the following message: Found Path to SMS.INI Found Path to DOMAIN.INI Cannot find \\\SYS\SMS\LOGON.SRV\DOMAIN.INI Inventory cannot be taken A client computer running Windows for Workgroups logging into a Windows NT Server domain will see the following message: Found path to domain.ini The client may also experience the following error immediately after the message: An unexpected network error has occurred. CAUSE ===== The client is looking for the Domain.ini file on a randomly selected server, rather than the current server. WORKAROUND ========== To work around this problem, replace the Initmain.exe file from Systems Management Server 1.2 Service Pack 1 with the version on the Systems Management Server 1.2 compact disc, by copying it to the following directory: Sms\Site.srv\Maincfg.box\Client.src\X86.bin The file will be automatically copied to the logon servers' Sms\Logon.srv\X86.bin directory during the next watchdog cycle. To speed up the process, you can manually copy the file to the Sms\Logon.srv\X86.bin directory on all Systems Management Server logon servers. STATUS ====== Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 1.2 Service Pack 1. A supported fix is now available, but is not fully regression-tested and should be applied only to systems experiencing this specific problem. Unless you are severely impacted by this specific problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next Service Pack that contains this fix.
