SMS: Client Reports Advertisement Status Messages to Wrong Sites (256215)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0
This article was previously published under Q256215 SYMPTOMS
Under certain circumstances, a Systems Management Server (SMS) 2.0 client that is running on a laptop computer may report advertisement status messages to sites to which it is incorrectly assigned, along with the site to which it is correctly assigned.
When a client receives and runs an advertisement, "Program Started" and "Program Completed" messages appear to be reported to each site to which the client thinks it is assigned and installed. This results in a skewed number of status messages for the program status for the client.
CAUSE
The conditions that can result in this behavior are documented in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article:
247543 SMS: Clients Incorrectly Assigned to Multiple Sites
