SMS: Mandatory Assignments Section Is Unavailable (294750)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0

This article was previously published under Q294750

SYMPTOMS

When you click the Schedule tab in the Advertisement properties, the Mandatory Assignments section may be unavailable. Typically, you can use the New Assignment option (yellow star icon) to add a new mandatory schedule to the existing advertisement; however, this option is unavailable.

CAUSE

This issue can occur if you have already configured 15 mandatory assignments for the advertisement. The number of mandatory assignments for each advertisement cannot exceed 15.

WORKAROUND

To work around this issue, delete the older mandatory assignments until no more than 14 mandatory assignments are listed. You can also create an additional advertisement that includes additional mandatory assignments.

MORE INFORMATION

If the number of mandatory assignments that are listed in the advertisement equals fifteen, you cannot schedule additional assignments; therefore, the option to add additional mandatory assignments is unavailable. This behavior is by design
