SMS: Site Status Inaccurately Reports 0 KB Free Disk Space on Non-existent NDS Systems (261760)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0

This article was previously published under Q261760

SYMPTOMS

When you are using the Systems Management Server Administrator Console, it is possible to assign a non-existent NetWare Directory Services (NDS) server to a Site System Role (that is a Client Access Point). If this occurs, the System Status Summarizer inaccurately reports that a non-existent server is failing with an error 4711, 0 bytes disk space available. This can be misleading, causing you to believe the system does exist and that it does not have any available disk space. This has been reported to affect only NDS system entries.

WORKAROUND

Avoid incorrectly defining nonexistent Netware NDS servers for Site System Roles. To resolve the situation, remove the errant server from the Site System Roles.

STATUS

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