SMS: Parent Site Collections Remain Locked at a Detached Child Site Server Console (226852)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0
This article was previously published under Q226852

SYMPTOMS

After a child site is detached from its parent, you may notice collections from the parent site still showing in the Administrator Console for the child site. These collections are locked and cannot be modified.

CAUSE

This situation occurs if the SMS_SQL_MONITOR (Smsdbmon.Exe) service experiences problems during the detachment process. If SMS_SQL_MONITOR fails, the SMS_COLLECTION_EVALUATOR service is not notified that the child site has been detached from the parent site, and it does not unlock parent site collections.

WORKAROUND

To work around this behavior, create a Site_code.sha file in the Colleval.box directory at the child site.

STATUS

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