The Systems Management Server Inventory Processor may take a long time to process
very large .MIF files. MIF files with large group tables (800 rows or more), may
take hours to process. Additionally, the Inventory Processor may use significant
amounts of CPU time as it processes the .MIF file.


STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server
version 1.0 and 1.1. We are researching this problem and will post new
