SYMPTOMS
When you manually delete a package on a primary site, the associated advertisement (.ofr) files are not deleted from the :\SMS\Inboxes\Offerinf.box folder on the secondary site.



CAUSE
Distribution Manager and Offer Manager are responsible for deleting all the advertisements that are associated with a package. On the primary site, the deletion is triggered by SQL triggers or by Distribution Manager. On the secondary site, the deletion is triggered only by Distribution Manager, but the deletion is not triggered.

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Systems Management Server version 2.0. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

STATUS
