SMS: Deleting Numerous Advertisements Can Cause a Long Delay in Offer Manager Processing (282276)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0
This article was previously published under Q282276 SYMPTOMS
After you delete a large number of advertisements, subsequent offers of new advertisements may be slow. In addition, new computers may be slow to receive advertisements after joining a collection if the previous advertisement was deleted.
CAUSE
When you delete advertisements, Offer Manager creates a .del file for each advertisement to be deleted. When processing a .del file, Offer Manager opens and possibly modifies all .ins files on the site. Given a large site with many clients, and many .ins files, this process can cause a lot of disk input/output, and Offer Manager may be very slow to process the changes.
WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, delete only a small number of advertisements at a time.
