SYMPTOMS
In some cases, collections defined at a parent site do not appear in the collection hierarchy of a child site. A symptom of this problem is the generation of status message &quot;2528.&quot; This status message defines which collection (or subcollection) is causing the problem. After the collection has been identified, you may find that one or more of the .psd files, which are pending in the SMS\INBOXES\Colleval.box file for the collection, are experiencing problems.



CAUSE
This problem typically occurs when defining a subcollection. When you add this new subcollection, the parent collection (including the new subcollection) must be copied down to the child site. This is because the addition of a subcollection is considered a change to the parent collection.

When the collections are received at the child site, the new subcollection is saved, but the parent is not. The parent site then checks to make sure that each of its children exist in the database. Child sites that do not exist in the database are placed back in the queue for reprocessing at a later time.



WORKAROUND
On the parent site under collections, click Update Collection Membership for the missing collection. It is not necessary to update all subcollections because they will still be waiting to be processed at the child site.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 2.0.



MORE INFORMATION
This problem seems to occur in sites that were upgraded from Systems Management Server (SMS) 1.2 to SMS 2.0.
