SYMPTOMS
After you apply Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1), the hardware inventory is not updated to include information about 64-bit processors for SMS 2003 SP1 clients that have one or more 64-bit processors.



CAUSE
Although SMS 2003 SP1 adds a feature to inventory 64-bit processors, this feature is not enabled when you apply the SMS 2003 SP1 upgrade to the site.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, you must manually modify the Sms_def.mof file. After you do this, the hardware inventory will include information about 64-bit processors.

Important Make sure all SMS 2003 clients have upgraded to SMS 2003 SP1 before you enable the inventory of 64-bit processors.

To enable the inventory of 64-bit processors, follow these steps:  Click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Notepad. On the File menu, click Open. In the Open dialog box, locate the  :\Sms\Inboxes\clifiles.src\hinv\Sms_def.mof file, and then click Open.  In the Sms_def.mof file, locate the following section of code. [SMS_Report (FALSE)    ] boolean   Is64Bit;   In the code that you located in step 4, change FALSE to TRUE. After you modify the file, this section of the Sms_def.mof file appears as follows: [SMS_Report (TRUE)    ] boolean   Is64Bit;  On the File menu, click Save.</li> Exit Notepad.</li></ol>

MORE INFORMATION
You must wait until all SMS 2003 clients in the site have upgraded to SP1 before you enable hardware inventory to include information about 64-bit processors. If you enable this feature before all SMS 2003 clients have been upgraded to SMS 2003 SP1, processor inventory information will not be updated in the site database for clients that have not been upgraded to SMS 2003 SP1.
