Using UINFO.XNF in MIF Entry Results in Corrupted File Error (137373)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.0
  • Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.1
  • Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.2

This article was previously published under Q137373

SYMPTOMS

When you run MIF Entry (MIFWIN.EXE) on the client computer and use a completely revised form (UINFO.XNF) modified on the Systems Management Server compared with the original UINFO.XNF, the following error message appears:
The form template file is corrupted.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, rename or delete the UINFO.SEV file located in the \MS\SMS\NOIDMIFS directory on the client computer.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server versions 1.0 and 1.1. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

The UINFO.XNF file is the default form used when you run MIFWIN on the client computer. Once you enter the prompted information and save the form, UINFO.SEV and UINFO.MIF are created and saved in the \MS\SMS\NOIDMIFS directory on the client computer. Once the Systems Management Server sends a package containing a new UINFO.XNF file to the client computers and you run MIFWIN, MIFWIN checks the entry contents of the new UINFO.XNF and UINFO.SEV.
