SMS: Inventory Does Not Detect Memory Beyond 16 MB (160701)
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 Q160701 SYMPTOMS
On computers running the OS/2 2.x, 3.x, or 4.x operating system, memory
over 16 MB will not be detected or reported by the Systems Management
Server Inventory Agent.
CAUSE
To determine the amount of available memory, Systems Management Server
makes a 16-bit API call. This call does not return the correct amount of
memory on a 32-bit version of OS/2.
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 version
1.2 only, but it 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.
