Last Software Scan Date Not Updated for Windows NT Clients

ID: Q147953

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Systems Management Server version 1.1

SYMPTOMS

The Last Software Scan date for a Windows NT client computer in Personal Computer Properties of Systems Management Server is not current or consistent with the Software Inventory Frequency set for the site. The Last Hardware Scan date is current.

CAUSE

If you do not have any Software Packages configured for Inventory, the Inventory Agent for Windows NT (INVWIN32.EXE) does not perform a Software Scan. This behavior does not occur with the Inventory Agent for MS-DOS clients (INVDOS.EXE).

RESOLUTION

To work around this problem, force the Inventory Agent for Windows NT (INVWIN32.EXE) to scan for software. To do this, configure at least one package for Software Inventory.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 1.1. The problem has been fixed in Systems Management Server version 1.2
