SYMPTOMS
If Discovery Data Manager (DDM) attempts to process a Data Discovery Record (DDR) that is zero bytes in size, the CPU usage by the Systems Management Server Executive may increase significantly and never decrease. Further review indicates that DDM is the cause for the increase. No new Drs will be processed. To work around this problem, stop the Systems Management Server Executive service, manually remove any zero byte DDRs and then restart the service.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Systems Management Server 2.0. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
