SMS: The Last Hardware Scan Date Is Incremented by One Month After the Site Attachment Process (287409)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0
This article was previously published under Q287409 SYMPTOMS When the site attachment process occurs between one primary
site to another, the new child primary site forwards all of its client hardware
inventory to the new parent primary site, along with other various
configuration information about itself.
When this process is
complete, you can open the Resource Explorer in the Systems Management Server
(SMS) administrators console at the parent primary site. When you view a
computer that belongs to the child primary site under Workstation Status in Resource Explorer, you may observe that the last hardware scan
date has been incremented by one month. RESOLUTION To
resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Microsoft Systems
Management Server 2.0. For additional information, click the following article

has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed
at the beginning of this article.
This problem was first
corrected in Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0 Service Pack

report their next regularly scheduled inventory, the new and accurate hardware
scan time is propagated to the clients' assigned sites and to all of the sites
above it in the SMS hierarchy.
The SMS command-line utility
(Preinst.exe) with the /syncparent switch can also demonstrate the same problem.
