SMS Does Not Correctly Identify New Pentium Processor Speeds (149497)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.1
This article was previously published under Q149497

SYMPTOMS

On DOS and 16-bit Windows systems, Systems Management Server (SMS) will report the newer Pentium processors that run faster than 66mhz as 66mhz processors. Windows NT systems will report their inventory based on the current registry configuration and are not affected by this problem.

CAUSE

The processor normalization code that determines the processor speed does not have the ability to identify the newer processors. These processors were released after the SMS inventory code was written.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 1.1. This problem has been corrected in Systems Management Server version 1.2.
