SMS: Incorrect Workstation Attribute Set in the Setup Column

• Microsoft Systems Management Server version 1.2

SYMPTOMS

After sending a package from a central site to a selection of child primary sites, the packages window at ALL the child sites have a "workstations" attribute in the setup column (meaning they are ready for distribution to clients), irrespective of which sites received the distributed package. However, the package is only usable at the sites with distribution servers that received the package during the distribute phase.

The package at sites with no distribution server specified in the distribute phase should not have the workstations attribute in the setup column.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 1.2. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
