SMS: Network Discovery Does Not Time Out As Expected After Unsuccessful RPC Call (226848)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0

This article was previously published under Q226848

SYMPTOMS

Network Discovery does not time out as expected if a network resource such as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server or a workstation does not respond to a remote procedure call (RPC). You may see the following lines repeatedly in the NetDisc.log:

   ADM: Returning busy from idle status due to outstanding networks in our
   presence.
   ADM: Returning busy from idle status due to DHCP thread being busy.
   DC: Protocol module <AD_ADM.dll> reports it is still busy while checking 
   idle state.
				

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 2.0.

MORE INFORMATION

In configurations earlier than Systems Management Server Service Pack 1, if a network resource (such as a DHCP server or a workstation) fails to return an RPC call issued from Network Discovery, no discovery data records (DDRs) are created. Network Discovery sites for Systems Management Server Service Pack 1 and later create DDRs for all resources it discovers before the unsuccessful RPC call.
