Inventory Taken at Every Login When Scan Interval Is One Day (157965)
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 Q157965 SYMPTOMS
The Systems Management Server inventory agent reports inventory every
logon, even though the inventory scan interval is one day. For more
information on this problem, see the following article in the Microsoft
Knowledge Base:
151620 Inventory Scan Intervals Off by One Day
CAUSE
This problem is caused by the failure of the inventory agent to take leap
years into account. Therefore, the problem is evident from 02/29/1996 to
12/31/1996. Since 1997 is not a leap year, the inventory agent will behave
normally.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, do either of the following:
- To specify daily scans, type Every 2 Days.
- To specify scans every three days or less frequently, type the interval
as you normally would.
NOTE: This problem prevents you from specifying an interval of two days.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server
versions 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2. This problem was corrected in the latest
Microsoft Systems Management Server version 1.2 U.S. Service Pack. For
