SYMPTOMS
Some status reports show different results at different levels of the SMS hierarchy. The status messages are not consistent between the child sites and the parent sites.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the &quot;Replicate all SMS Client messages at low priority&quot; status filter rule makes SMS client messages replicate at a lower priority than other SMS data. This lower priority can delay status message replication. Therefore, the status reports may be inaccurate and may show different results at different levels of the hierarchy.



WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, use either of the following methods.

Method 1
Disable the &quot;Replicate all SMS Client messages at low priority&quot; status filter rule. For information about how to disable a status filter rule, read the &quot;Status Filter Rules Configuration Overview&quot; section in Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) 2003 Administrator Help.

Method 2
Create a new status filter rule to replicate only the intended status messages at medium priority and the rest of the status messages at low priority. For information about how to create a status filter rule, read the &quot;Status Filter Rules Configuration Overview&quot; section in Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) 2003 Administrator Help.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
