This article was previously published under Q235818



SYMPTOMS
While performing Network Discovery, computers on slow links are not discovered.

The NetDisc.Log contains the following:

ADM: ICMP: Address <155.14.182.1> did not respond to a ping. ADM: ICMP: Address <155.14.192.129> did not respond to a ping. The machines can be reached by Ping.



CAUSE
Network Discovery will Ping a computer, and then attempt communication with other protocols. This can increase network traffic, resulting in time-outs of other ICMP requests.



RESOLUTION


STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 2.0. This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. service pack for Systems Management Server version 2.0.
