SYMPTOMS
INVMAC appears to stop responding during early stages of inventory. The status indicator bar does not show any new progress. After a brief period of time, the inventory scan will continue.



CAUSE
INVMAC is reading the Resync.cfg file. INVMAC reads the Resync.cfg file 48 bytes at a time. The larger the Resync.cfg file, the longer the delay.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, periodically use Dumpsync.exe from the BackOffice Resource Kit to purge the Resync.cfg file. Doing this will reduce the size of the Resync.cfg file, which should avoid the problem.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server versions 1.1 and 1.2. We are researching this problem and will post new information in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
