Bad .RAW File Hangs Inventory Processor (128143)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.0
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.1
This article was previously published under Q128143 SYMPTOMS
No new inventory shows up in Personal Computer Properties, .RAW files
continue to get added to the SMS\SITE.SRV\INVENTRY.BOX directory on the
site server, and the inventory processor appears to be hung. In some cases,
the SMS_EXECUTIVE will stop suddenly.
CAUSE
SMS has no mechanism to pass over a bad .RAW files. As a result, bad .RAW
files passed to the INVENTRY.BOX directory on the Site Server, remain in
that directory without being processed and all other inventory files will
backup behind it.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, stop SMS_EXECUTIVE, remove the bad .RAW file,
and restart SMS_EXECUTIVE.
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.
