Hello, I am getting error messages from the SMS status message viewer for the SMS_INVENTORY_DATA_LOADER component. Below is an example. Microsoft SQL Server reported SQL message 208, severity 16: Invalid object name 'Display_Controller_Config_DATA'. I get them for different objects, not just...

Has anywone seen the issue where you deploy a patch using the SMS feature pack and even though you specify the patch to only be sent to the first adminitstrator who logs in, it keeps coming back, even though it has been istalled.

Hey everyone, I found out why the remote control desktop was so slow. Our systems were set to 24-bit color. Setting them all down to 256 color caused the remote control to act quicker and increased the speed. If you are having the same issue, I would suggest you check your color resolution...

Has anyone seen slowness when using the SMS remote desktop feature? I have the SMS provider and Site Server on one system and the SQL 2000 DB on another system. Any info would be appreciated. I have seen quite a bit of slowness and lag when using the remote desktop.

According to our research this can't be done. Microsoft Support was not helpful in this matter.

I have found the answer to this question. Contact me if you need help with the Altiris SMS client.

I have seen this issue quite a bit, especially when your when you domain controllers are Active Directory. In my system environment it doesn't seem to affect anything and it always corrects itself. A lot of times it occurs because communication between the domain controller and the site server...

Hi, I have been seeing a lot of lag and slowness in the SMS Remote Tools. Does anyone have any clues as to how and speed up this tool? I have set the compression rate to Low (RLE)and then set the colors to 16-bit but still it is very slow. I don't think my network has anything to do with...

There has to be a fix to allow Terminal Service users of Windows 2000 to be able to see advertised programs from the SMS server on their client box. The APM is working fine if you are on the console of the client box, but if some remotely logs into the client box using Terminal Services (no...

Actually the fix to this issue is that you have to give each client local admin rights to the SMSService account. Otherwise the installation will fail. For example in a domain the SMSService account would be in a group like "Domain Admins" and then each client would need to have this...

I am using the Altiris SW delivery package with SMS 2.0 SP5. I can get the package to the client and by excecuting the aex-swdapm command on the Linux client it goes out and grabs it from the Notification Server FTP site. Howeve, where do I state the install commands, such as rpm -i. Do I do...

When you set the local administrator password to be changed at next logon, a message box pops up and asks the user if they want to change this password. They can choose "yes" or they can choose "no". If they choose "no", they easily bypass this security feature...

if I enable logon client installation will it automaticall reboot the boxes or will it wait for an admin to do it? In my environment I can't just have boxes being rebooted on their own.

Hi, I have network discovery installed and it seems to be picking up my devices. However, right now I don't want to enable any automatic client installation. When I try to run the SMSMan.exe file from a box that has been discovered it states that the installation was successful but that my...
