Clients Remove Components and the Clintx86.ofr File Is Incomplete on CAPs (298935)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0 SP2
  • Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0 SP3
This article was previously published under Q298935

SYMPTOMS

Systems Management Server (SMS) clients may be uninstalled and reinstalled daily. Also, the Clintx86.ofr file on each client access point (CAP) may be incomplete. This file controls which client components should be installed for the site.

The Client Agent properties for the site in the SMS Administrator console show the proper settings that specify which client agents should be installed (or enabled) for all clients in the site, but the agents are uninstalled even though they are enabled for the site. When this situation occurs, the Client Installation Data Manager (CIDM) component reports status message ID 2918. Entries that are similar to the following sample entries may be recorded in the Cidm.log file:
Warning - Could not read offers from source file E:\SMS\inboxes\clicfg.src\CLINTX86.OFR (Win32 error: 2)

ERROR: Could not copy file from E:\SMS\inboxes\clicfg.src\OFR1DD.tmp to E:\SMS\inboxes\clicfg.src\CLINTX86.OFR (Win32 error: 112)

Warning - Could not write offers from source file E:\SMS\inboxes\clicfg.src\CLINTX86.OFR (Win32 error: 112)

CAUSE

Win32 error 112 indicates that there is not enough space on the disk. Win32 error 2 indicates that the specified file cannot be found. These errors occur if the CAP does not have sufficient free disk space to function correctly.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, free some disk space on the CAPs.
