SMS: Distribution Status Failure with Machine Groups (167007)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.2
This article was previously published under Q167007 SYMPTOMS
If you create a Run Command on Workstation job at the central site that has
a distribute phase sending the package to a machine group of X distribution
servers at each of Y child sites, the remaining sites, which do not have
distribution servers, will show errors.
The error is in the job status window for the site, which has a working
status of Failed. When you drill down into the job details, the line with
"site instruction arrival" shows a status of Complete, but the second line
with Systems Management Server distribution server processing shows a
status of Failed.
Systems Management Server should not attempt to do any distribution server
processing to sites that do not have a distribution server in the
distribute phase.
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.
