BUG: SMS 2.0 Shows No Version for an SMS Version 1.2 Child Site

• Microsoft Systems Management Server version 2.0

SYMPTOMS

After upgrading a central site running Systems Management Server (SMS) 1.2 to Systems Management Server 2.0, child and secondary sites running version 1.2 may be displayed as a different version in the database of the upgraded central site.

CAUSE

This is by design. The Version and Build Number fields are introduced by Systems Management Server version 2.0 and are stored in the Sites table of the version 2.0 database. The version information for sites running version 1.x is not written to these new fields during the upgrade process. These fields are updated once the new version 2.0 central site receives a site control file from the version 1.x child and secondary sites, which should be completed within 24 hours.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 2.0.
