SMS: PGC Randomly Picks a Logon Server (165507)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.1
This article was previously published under Q165507 SYMPTOMS
In some WAN environments, Systems Management Server's Program Group
Control (PGC) may go across the WAN to attempt a connection to a Systems
Management Server logon server (domain controller) to obtain the groups a
logged on user belongs to.
This may cause unwanted delays, due to the slow connection speed, and also
may use important WAN connection bandwidth.
CAUSE
The PGC randomly chooses a Systems Management Server logon server in the
domain (primary domain controller and backup domain controllers) to
retrieve the information.
RESOLUTION
This problem has been fixed in Systems Management Server 1.2. The PGC first
attempts to locate the server listed in the ValidatingServer entry in the
[SMSLSIni] section of the Sms.ini file, as in the following example:
[SMSLSIni]
ValidatingServer=\\xxxxx
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server
version 1.1. This problem has been fixed in Systems Management Server
version 1.2.
