SMS: Network Inventory Missing on Some Win95 NetWare Clients (164568)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.2
This article was previously published under Q164568 SYMPTOMS
The MS-DOS Inventory Agent (Invdos.exe) may fail to get the network adapter
card information on client computers running Windows 95 that are using
Microsoft's NetWare redirector. The Systems Management Server Administrator
program shows 'No Data Available' when you view the Manufacturer, IRQ, Port
Address, and so on, of the client's Network group under the Personal
Computer Properties window.
CAUSE
This problem is caused by the NetWare network adapter card information test
occasionally failing to obtain an SPX socket, due to the timing of the
client computer. As a result, the network adapter card test does not get
valid network adapter card configuration data.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server
version 1.2. This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft Systems
Management Server version 1.2 U.S. Service Pack. For information on
obtaining the service pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft
