DOCUMENT:Q226857 15-NOV-2000 [sms] TITLE :SMS: Intersite License Balancing Still Runs After Being Disabled PRODUCT :Microsoft Systems Management Server PROD/VER::2.0 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbsms200 kbsms200bug kbsmsMeter ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Systems Management Server version 2.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== When intersite license balancing is enabled for your software metering servers and then, at a later time, disabled, intersite license balancing continues according to its configured schedule. CAUSE ===== This behavior occurs because after intersite license balancing is enabled at the site, it cannot be turned off. WORKAROUND ========== To work around this issue, increase the interval at which licenses are balanced so that this traffic occurs as infrequently as possible. STATUS ====== Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 2.0.
