This article was previously published under Q141237

SYMPTOMS

After you shutdown and restart Systems Management Server, Site Configuration Manager service does not start.

CAUSE

This problem occurs if your computer does the following:

  • Slow disk and memory throughout
  • Constant paging to disk as Windows NT and Systems Management Server services are loading
  • Many applications are starting during startup
Site Configuration Manager may time out due to the above configuration.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem:

  1. Start applications manually. Do not start applications during Windows NT startup.
  2. Reduce the number of Windows NT Server services to start automatically. You may start the default Windows NT Server services automatically.
  3. Increase disk and memory throughput. This may require hardware upgrades such as hard disk and controller with faster data transfer rate, and additional memory.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server versions 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
