SMS: False Errors Are Recorded in the Smsprov.log File (258987)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0 SP1
This article was previously published under Q258987 SYMPTOMS
When you try to remotely control a client from the Systems Management Server (SMS) 2.0 Administrator console, you may receive the following error message in the Smsprov.log file.
[18D][Fri 03/17/2000 16:08:23]:
*
*
E:\OPALSP1\sdk_provider\nt\smsprov\SspUtility.cpp(1467) : Error Extracting property:TopLevelSiteCode
*
*
Note that there are no corresponding error messages on the Administrator console screen, and no status messages are generated.
CAUSE
This behavior is the normal result of using remote control or any other utility that calls the internal RaiseRawStatusMsg method without setting the optional TopLevelSiteCode parameter. When any of the optional parameters for the SMS_StatusMessage methods (such as RaiseRawStatusMsg, RaiseErrorStatusMsg, RaiseWarningStatusMsg, or RaiseInformationalStatusMsg) are not included, an error message is generated in the Smsprov.log file warning of the missing parameter.
NOTE: No error message is returned by the provider and the methods function normally.
MORE INFORMATION
This behavior is not due to a problem in the execution of the remote control code, and can be safely ignored.
