SYMPTOMS
You experience the following symptoms in a Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) 2003 site hierarchy:  SMS 2003 does not distribute a package to some SMS 2003 child sites. The following error information is logged in the SMS\Logs\Sched.log file:

Processing routing request .RTR SMS_SCHEDULER? ? (0x121C) The routing request came from site SMS_SCHEDULER? ? (0x121C) WARNING: Found duplicate Send Request ID already exists in sites current list - ID: ID: 2_ SMS_SCHEDULER? ? (0x121C) Abandoning processing of the routing request .RTR. It will be retried on the next routing request processing cycle. SMS_SCHEDULER? ? (0x121C)

Note The following text is significant in this logged information:

&quot;WARNING: Found duplicate Send Request ID already exists in sites current list - ID: 2_ &quot;





CAUSE
This problem may occur if a duplicate send request ID is generated in SMS 2003. You may experience this problem if the following conditions are true:
 * You have a three-tier site hierarchy.
 * The send request is sent to a remote site that has a slow link.

Send request IDs can have a maximum number of 46,656 unique values before they restart. A send request that is sent to a remote site that has a slow link may take seven days to be processed or to be deleted.

Note The SMS Scheduler deletes active send requests that are over seven days old.

In a three-tier site hierarchy, send request IDs may reach the maximum number of unique values and restart as frequently as one time per week. Typically, duplicate send request IDs are located in the Sms\Inboxes\Schedule.box\Outboxes\lan folder. However, duplicate send requests IDs may also be located in the Sms\Inboxes\Schedule.box\Requests folder.
