SMS: Cannot Open Membership Rules Tab on Identical Collections at Child Site (213340)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0
This article was previously published under Q213340 SYMPTOMS
When you attach a site to a parent site that has a collection with an identical name as a collection at the new child site, the collections are properly replicated to the child site and may result in two identically named collections being listed at the child site. However, when you click the Membership Rules tab of either collection, you receive the following error message:
This collection name is already in use.
Please enter a different name.
CAUSE
This behavior occurs because Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0 enforces uniqueness based on name. Note that this behavior does not occur for the default collections installed by Systems Management Server.
WORKAROUND
In this situation, Systems Management Server 2.0 prompts the user to fix the name conflict. When the collection's Properties page is open, change either the child site's collection name or the identical collection name at the parent site.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Systems Management Server version 2.0.
