SMS: SETLS Domain Enumeration Using Smsls.ini and Win.iniLast reviewed: December 4, 1997Article ID: Q174793 |
The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSIf you specify domain:sitecode in the [SMS] section of the Win.ini file, SETLS always enumerates the domain. That is, SETLS does not select a Systems Management Server logon server from the [Servers] section of the client's Sms.ini file. This results in a longer delay during the initial logon.
CAUSESETLS enumerates the domain when there is a mismatch between the KeyMatch value set in the [SMSLSIni] section of the client's Sms.ini file and the current value. For example, suppose the following is the [SMS] section from a client's Win.ini file:
[SMS] domain=VIPER_X:Q45The following is the [SMSLSIni] section of the client's Sms.ini file:
[SMSLSIni] ValidatingServer=\\Servername FileName=Z:\smsls.ini FileTime=31fa4fc0 SectionMatch=WIN.INI KeyMatch=VIPER_X Domain=VIPER_XNote that the domain name under the [SMS] section is VIPER_X:Q45 and the KeyMatch value under the [SMSLSIni] section is VIPER_X. SETLS enumerates the VIPER_X domain as long as those two values are different.
WORKAROUNDTo work around this problem, manually modify the [SMSLSIni] section and change the KeyMatch value to equal the same value set for the domain entry under the [SMS] section in the client's Win.ini file.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 1.2. This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.2 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
S E R V P A C K MORE INFORMATIONAs long as the values in the [SMSLSIni] section of the client's Sms.ini file match the current values, SETLS should select a Systems Management Server logon server from the [Servers] section of that file, and should not enumerate the domain.
