The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 2003
SYMPTOMSWhen you try to start the
hardware inventory cycle on a Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) 2003
Advanced Client computer, the hardware inventory cycle does not start. Additionally,
the following error message is recorded in the Dataldr.log file on the SMS 2003 site
server: Compilation failed~syntax error on
line 1692 Could not convert MIF file
drive letter:\SMS\inboxes\auth\dataldr.box\process\Xdhji8len.MIF for SQL processing
ERROR - attempt to update non-existent row. Resync will be requested for
commands: SMS_INVENTORY_DATA_LOADER This symptom occurs if the following conditions are true: - The SMS 2003
Advanced Client computer is a portable computer.
- The default reporting value of the MICROSOFT|MODEM_DEVICE|1.0 class section in the Sms_def.mof file is enabled.
CAUSEThis problem occurs if the SMS Inventory Dataloader
component cannot process a complete .mif file. Compilation
errors in the .mif file can prevent the SMS Inventory Dataloader
component from processing a complete .mif file.
Note SMS 2003 uses the Sms_def.mof file to
specify which hardware classes and attributes are collected and reported for
the hardware inventory.RESOLUTIONTo resolve this issue, use either of the following two
methods. Method 1Disable the default reporting value of the MICROSOFT|MODEM_DEVICE|1.0 class section in the Sms_def.mof file. To do this, follow these steps:
- Open the Sms_def.mof file in Notepad.
- Change the default reporting value of the MICROSOFT|MODEM_DEVICE|1.0 class section so that it looks like this reporting value:
[ SMS_Report (FALSE),
SMS_Group_Name ("Modem"),
SMS_Class_ID ("MICROSOFT|MODEM_DEVICE|1.0") ] - In Notepad, click Save on the File menu, and then quit Notepad.
Method 2Disable the default reporting value of the Properties value in the "class Win32_POTSModem : SMS_Class_Template" section in the Sms_def.mof file. To do this,
follow these steps:
- Open the Sms_def.mof file in Notepad.
- Change the default reporting value of the Properties
value in the "class Win32_POTSModem : SMS_Class_Template" section so that it looks like this reporting value:
[ SMS_Report (FALSE) ]
