SMS: Network Monitor: "Bad Month Format"

• Microsoft Systems Management Server version 1.2

SYMPTOMS

When using Network Monitor Agent to do a remote capture, viewing the captured frame properties reveals the following:

   FRAME: Time of capture = Bad Month Format 0, 0 0:0:0.13 

CAUSE

This problem occurs only when you are using Network Monitor Agent to capture from a remote computer, not when capturing locally from the computer that Network Monitor is installed on.

When captured locally, the frame properties should read correctly:

   FRAME: Time of capture = Jul 20, 1998 11:45:36.880 

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, use Network Monitor Agent on the local computer rather than attempting to perform a remote capture.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 1.2.
