SYMPTOMS
If you create too many inventory packages in the Microsoft Systems Management Administrator and you run SMSLS.BAT from a Windows for Workgroups 3.11 computer the following error message appears:

The inventory output file has not been created.

Run INVDOS /v to determine why.

When you run INVDOS /V you will see something similar to the following:

Keyboard

Dma

Disks

DriveA

DriveB

DriveC

Volume

DriveD

Volume

ConventionalMemory

CMOSMemory

ExtendedMemory

XMSMemory

DPMIMemory

EMMMemory

MouseInfo

Video

Video Skipped

A hardware test failed

The inventory output file has not been created.

Run INVDOS /V to determine why.

Done.



CAUSE
This happens when the PKG_16.CFG file becomes to large.



WORKAROUND
Use the Audit utility to inventory software instead of creating packages solely for inventory.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Systems Management Server version 1.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
