SMS: Invmac Doesn't Report Mac or IP Address with Open Transport (156403)
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 Q156403 SYMPTOMS
Macintosh inventory records do not display the network adapter card
hardware address or IP address of a Macintosh client running Macintosh
operating system version 7.5.3 with Macintosh Open Transport 1.0 or 1.1.
CAUSE
Macintosh Open Transport is installed on Apple Power Macintoshes to support
PCI network adapters and to support streams-based protocols such as
Macintosh TCP/IP. With the introduction of Macintosh Open Transport, the
method the Systems Management Server InvMac component uses to determine the
network adapter card address and the TCP/IP address is no longer available.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server
versions 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2. A supported fix is now available for SMS 1.2, but has not
been fully regression-tested and should be applied only to systems
experiencing this specific problem. Unless you are severely impacted by
this specific problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next
Service Pack that contains this fix. Contact Microsoft Technical Support
for more information.
