SMS: Site Status Node is Slow (244633)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0
  • Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0 SP1
This article was previously published under Q244633

SYMPTOMS

The Site Status node in the Systems Management Server Administrator Console may be extremely slow on sites within a large hierarchy. When you click this node, the Systems Management Server provider runs the sp_GetSummarizers_sitedetail stored procedure once for every site in the hierarchy. The repeated calls to the stored procedure are redundant and contribute to the slowness that occurs when you open the node.

RESOLUTION
