SMS: Network Adapter Card Information Not Correct (161290)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.2
This article was previously published under Q161290 SYMPTOMS
When a client computer running Windows 95 is inventoried, the hardware scan
may not report the network adapter card inventory information properly. You
may find the following line in the [Workstation Status] section of the
Sms.ini file on the client:
FailedHardwareCheck=LanmanNetcardInfo.
This problem occurs if the Ms\Sms\Data directory on the client computer has
a Smssafe.tmp file that contains the following entry:
LanmanNetcardInfo=Crashed.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server
version 1.2. A supported fix is now available, but has not been fully
regression-tested and should be applied only to systems experiencing this
specific problem. Unless you are severely impacted by this specific
problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next Service Pack that
contains this fix. Contact Microsoft Technical Support for more
information.
MORE INFORMATION
This fix requires you to delete the Smssafe.tmp file and with the
FailedHardwareChecks line of the Sms.ini file. Once that is done, inventory
will report the correct data.
