SMS: Mobile Client Computer Is Assigned to Every Site It Visits (276531)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0

This article was previously published under Q276531

SYMPTOMS

When you disable the traveling mode option on a client computer, you may notice that the mobile client computer has been assigned to all of the sites that it has visited.

CAUSE

When you enable the traveling mode option on a mobile client, the Smsasign.ini file (located at Windir\Ms\Sms\Core\Data\) is modified to indicate "CLIENT_ASSIGNED." This setting prevents the mobile client from being added automatically to sites that it visits. However, if you disable the traveling mode option, the Systems Management Server (SMS)-based client is automatically assigned to that site.

WORKAROUND

When the traveling mode option is enabled, do not turn it off. This workaround may be easier to implement if you use the Clitrvl.exe tool that is included with Systems Management Server 2.0 Service Pack 2 (SP2).

STATUS

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