SYMPTOMS
When the SMS_LAN_SENDER component receives a send request from the Scheduler tool, it does not determine whether there is a valid instruction file in the Schedule.box\Tosend folder before trying to send the package file. After sending the package file, SMS_LAN_SENDER tries to send the instruction file. If the file does not exist, SMS_LAN_SENDER reschedules the send request to try again later.

This can cause the package file to be resent to the destination site without a corresponding instruction file, and a zero-byte file to be created on the destination site. If the package file is large, this could quickly consume the drive space on a remote site.



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