SMS: Error Message: There Are No Forms Available (309650)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0
This article was previously published under Q309650

SYMPTOMS

When you start the Mifwin.exe tool after you install the Microsoft BackOffice Resource Kit version 4.5, you may receive the following error message:
There are no forms available

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem:
  1. Copy the following files from the BackOffice Resource Kit 4.5 to the Windows\Ms\SMS\Noidmifs folder:

    • Mifwin.exe
    • _mif.dll
    • Uinfo.xnf

    You can do this by creating a package from an SMS Installer script that contains the files (or a variety of other ways), and then creating an advertisement that targets the clients. The initial advertisement can also run the Mifwin.exe tool to bring up the form for the user to fill out.

    NOTE: The SMS version 1.2 files of the same name will not work with SMS version 2.0.
  2. Create an advertisement to run the Windows\Ms\SMS\Noidmifs\Mifwin.exe program on the client whenever an update to the user information is needed.

    A Uinfo.mif file will be created or updated whenever the form is saved, and a User Information section will be created under the Hardware section of the Resource Explorer for the computer.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 2.0.
