SMS: Audit Package Fails to Report MIF to Site

• Microsoft Systems Management Server versions 1.0, 1.1

SYMPTOMS

The Audited software property does not show up in the Systems Management Server Personal Computer Properties after you run an audit package on a Windows for Workgroups client that is part of a Windows NT domain within a Systems Management Server site.

On Windows for Workgroups clients that are members of a Windows NT Systems Management Server domain and have both Microsoft and NetWare ODI networking protocols installed, the audit package fails when run from Package Command Manager. The following error is logged in the AUDIT16.LOG file on the client:

   Job Status MIF not created.
   Reading packages             [Done]
   Scanning local drives        [Done]
   Scanning packages            [Done]
   Writing results              [Done]

   A File error occurred:  File create error in MIF output file on network.
   Job Status MIF not created.
