SYMPTOMS
Under certain circumstances it may be necessary to force a client to report its full inventory. This is usually accomplished by manually running either invdos /f

-or-

invwin32 /f from the logon server. This may result in the creation of client resynchronizations (resyncs) which can increase the processing overhead for Dataloader when used in large client environments.

A new command line switch has been added which allows an immediate and full inventory scan without generating a client resync. The new switch is /x.

For example, for non-Windows NT clients (Windows 95, Windows 3.11, and so forth), use the command: invdos /x For Windows NT clients, use the command: invwin32 /x



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 1.2. This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. service pack for Systems Management Server version 1.2.
