SYMPTOMS
Systems Management Server Sender-based bandwidth control writes a initial Estimated Bandwidth of 0xffffffff bytes per second (very large) in the registry. When you first use the Addresses dialog box in Sender Manager to modify an Address-based bandwidth, the Estimated Bandwidth is set to an appropriate (lower) value. By default, this value is 0x138880 (10,000 decimal).

However, if you use the Sender dialog box in Sender Manager, this initial value is not lowered and Systems Management Server assumes you have erroneously large bandwidth.

This error results in the Sender stopping under some conditions.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, in Sender Manager, use the Senders dialog box to set the Estimated Bandwidth appropriately and then open the Addresses dialog box and choose OK to close it.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 1.1. This problem has been corrected in Systems Management Server version 1.2.
