SMS: Scheduler Never Creates Send Request

• Microsoft Systems Management Server version 1.2

SYMPTOMS

When you create a new "Run Command on Workstation" job and do not enable the Run Phase, no send request is created for the destination site(s). No compressed file or instruction file is created. As a result, the job remains active and is never distributed.

CAUSE

Two or more Identification groups exist in the SMS database. This can be the result of a custom Identification MIF (IDMIF) being added to the SMS site.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, use the SMS Database Manager to delete all of the group classes defined in any architecture other than Personal Computer that contains an Identification group. Doing this will remove the architecture from the SMS database. Take steps to ensure that the architecture is not re-created.

To resolve this problem, contact Microsoft Technical Support to obtain the following fix, or wait for the next Systems Management Server service pack.

STATUS
