[LogonHistory] not Complete when Switching Site/Domain

 Last reviewed: April 23, 1997
Article ID: Q131631

The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Systems Management Server versions 1.0 and 1.1

SYMPTOM

If you logon to another site/domain, the "Different Site/Domain combination" message appears, as does a message stating that you will be switched to this site/domain if you logon two more consecutive times. If you logon to a different site/domain combination than the one previous, the logon counter is decremented even though this is the first time you logged on to the site/domain.

CAUSE

SMS is not keeping track of the Site that the user logs on to. When you attempt to switch a site/domain, you must logon three times for the changes to take effect. On the first and second attempts, INVDOS should update the [LogonHistory] section in the SMS.INI file: 

   [LogonHistory]
   Entry=<3-digit Site Code>:<Domain Name>
   Counter=<# attempts>
The Entry attribute is not being set by INVDOS. Without this entry, you can attempt to logon to any three different site/domain combinations and will login to the site/domain designated at the third logon attempt.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server versions 1.0 and 1.1. This problem was corrected in the latest US Service Pack for Systems Management Server.
