SMS: Job Status Remains Active When Sent to Entire Site (156250)
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 Q156250 SYMPTOMS
When you send a package to an entire site, the package is sent to all
clients in the site, regardless of the supported platforms selected in the
package properties. Because the package may not be able to run under all
platforms, the Job Status remains Active, but the Job Status Details (which
displays the SMSIDs for the clients that are not able to run the package)
shows a status of None.
CAUSE
Job status is only updated when the client generates a Status MIF, and that
MIF is put into the database. If a client does not run the job, a status
MIF is not created.
WORKAROUND
Only send platform-sensitive packages to clients that can run them. You can
send these packages by using machine groups, query results, or individual
clients.
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.
