SMS: Corrupted Raw File Is Created After Hardware Inventory (275191)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.2
This article was previously published under Q275191 SYMPTOMS
When you run a hardware inventory, a corrupted RAW file may be created. If the hardware inventory is performed on a client that is not already in the database, a .mif file cannot be produced by the Systems Management Server (SMS) Inventory Processor, and the client is not added to the database.
When the server attempts to process a RAW file from a client, the Invproc.log file that is created by the SMS Inventory Processor may report the following error messages:
Reading the RAW file $$SMS_INVENTORY_PROCESSOR
It's for machine HF1004R1 $$SMS_INVENTORY_PROCESSOR

This issue can occur on some Dell PowerEdge servers that are running Phoenix ROM BIOS PLUS version 1.10 A04 or A05. On these servers, the date string that is collected by the SMS Inventory Process is reported by the manufacturer in European format (YY/MM/DD) instead of American format (MM/DD/YY).
