PCM and Archiving Unexecuted Mandatory Jobs (122202)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.0
This article was previously published under Q122202

SYMPTOMS

When Package Command Manager (PCM) detects a mandatory job, it is possible for someone to archive the job while the 5 minute countdown timer is still running. If this happens, there are several resulting problems which prevent PCM from being able to execute the job.

WORKAROUND

If someone archives a mandatory job just before execution, delete the PCMHIST.REG file on the client computer. This will force PCM to put the job into the pending commands folder and re-enable the job for execution.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 1.0. This problem was corrected in Systems Management Server version 1.1.
