SMS: Standalone Servers Report to Site Server Domain (156418)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.2
This article was previously published under Q156418 SYMPTOMS
When Systems Management Server sites have two or more Windows NT domains,
and the domain is configured to auto-detect all servers, any Windows NT
standalone servers that belong to a second tier domain will report their
inventory to the Systems Management Server site server's domain, rather
than their own domain.
CAUSE
The Systems Management Server Site Configuration Manager is giving the
wrong domain to the client set up during the initial installation of the
server through the auto-detect all servers option. Site Configuration
Manager always specifies the site server's domain, so that the logon server
that is used is from the site server's domain. This results in an Sms.ini
file containing the site server domain (instead of its own domain) being
created on the client.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server
version 1.2. A supported fix is now available, 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.
