SYMPTOMS
You use the SMS Administrator Console component in Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2) to add or to modify an SMS 2.0 site service account. When you do this, the following error is logged in the SMS 2.0 Sitectrl.log file:

ERROR: The &quot;Site Definition&quot; item in the master site control file &quot;C:\SMS\inboxes\sitectrl.box\sitectrl.ct0&quot; does not contain a &quot;Property List&quot; item named &quot;NAL Reserved&quot;, or that item is corrupt.

Therefore, the site control file is rejected.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, perform a site reset by running the SMS 2.0 Setup program on the SMS 2.0 site server. To do this, follow these steps:
 * 1) On the SMS 2.0 site server, close any SMS Administrator consoles that are open.
 * 2) Click Start, point to All Programs, click Systems Management Server, and then click SMS Setup.
 * 3) Click Next two times, and then click Modify or reset the current installation.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section.
