I have heard reports of this problem as well with a C610 and a fresh load of Windows 2000 Professional and the SMS 2.0 SP3 client (including remote control). Anybody else?

Can you create a query in the SMS MMC? How did you install SQL? Before SMS Setup, or during? Did you use SQL Integrated Security? Personally, I don't use Crystal Reports. Here's another reporting interfacce available for SMS 2: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/release.asp?ReleaseID=28039...

Writing a query to get registry information out of SMS requires you to have SMS configured to inventory using the Registry Provider for WMI. This requires a modified MOF file that tells the client to provide the information on each Hardware Inventory Cycle. Do you know if your SMS Site's MOF...

Did you choose the Quick Setup method? If so, then I don't know of anyone that has chosen the Quick Setup method and had a functional server. Have you tried turning off Network Discovery? Just for a night at least. Personally, I don't use Network Discovery, so another person may be able to...

This is usually attributed to permissions failure due to timeouts of the WBEM layer authentication. When all of your security is configured correctly, then this error can still appear sporadically. Does this error happen every single time, or only some of the time? Another option is the Allow...

Could you possibly post your Query Language? It sounds to me that your query may not have the correct syntax, therefore it is not displaying the data correctly.

Speaking of log files, there is an excellent tool available in the SMS Support Tools from Microsoft (SUPPORT.EXE on the SMS 2 CDROM) for viewing log files. The tool is called DIG. It will retrieve all of the pertinent log files and other information to help troubleshoot issues with SMS. It is...

If your users are using laptops and getting different IP addresses when connecting to the internet at home via a cable modem (in other words, when you are using the LAN adapter instead of dial-up to connect). Depending on your travel mode settings, you may have users deassigning from the site...

SATech, I would start with the logs on the clients that are failing to get the components. They are very likely installing, then uninstalling for some reason. The logs will explain all! Also, sign up to this forum and post a new thread with a better title....that way you'll get everybody...

Man, have I got THE document for you. Just follow this link to download a document that should answer all your questions (but may take a while to read): http://www.microsoft.com/SMSERVER/techdetails/secessentials.asp One issue we encountered is that within Windows 2000 environments, you will...

If you are opertaing in a high-security environment, then you will want to use SMS Remote Control rather than the other tools available. One reason is that SMS 2.0 has several layers of security for remote control. The first layer (which most tools have) is that it prompts the user before the...

I have had this exact behaviour on our NTW4.0 clients that are "locked down". In our case, the SMS Service Account could not complete the installation because it did not have administrative rights on the workstation. Also, I would suggest throttling down those 90-day SQL tasks...

I haven't seen that error, but I would suggest altering the security settings on your browser. These errors might be the result of the VBScripts on the web site violating your security settings.

Actually, contrary to JPMackl's opinion, creating a query to use for reporting is pretty simple and easy, assuming you have some experience with SQL. If you know how to write SQL queries, then simply use the SMS MMC to create a query that displays the data you want. I suggest using Left Joins...

JPMackl's description of SMS 2.0 is not completely accurate. Because SMS 2.0 leverages off of WMI and the CIM standards, it is completely customizable. Therefore, the way I would portray SMS 2.0 is that it can do whatever you want it to do (including completely accurate Software and Asset...

By "Heartbeat Detection (sic)" do you mean Heartbeat Discovery or Network Discovery? If you are using the logon scripts, then you have enabled Logon Discovery, right? Assuming your Discovery methods are straightened out and everything should be working but is not, then I would...

When you install Web Reports, it creates an SQL Login and an SQL Role for you, named 'smsschm_user' and 'smsschm_users'. Meanwhile, IIS is configured to use integrated security to allow access to the Web Reports site. Therefore, in SQL just run the "Create Login Wizard" to create a...

When the nodes of the SMS MMC will not open, it is almost always security related. Sounds like your permissions are not being enumerated correctly. First, check group membership and Object Permissions. Then, check that the local group "SMS Admins" on the SMS Site Server and make...

Oh, that's all? Just extra records in the database? No big deal at all. Just make sure your heartbeat settings are set pretty low (1 day is fine), and run the Delete Aged stuff.

Yeah, the Web Reports is great even if you don't want to use the built-in web site code! You see, it will create all of the needed SQL stored procedures, views and such, which would allow you to create your own HTML (or whatever) solution entirely! This, obviously requires extra knowledge...
