SYMPTOMS
When you configure Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) 2003 to use package IDs that packages have used before, the SMS 2003 clients may not download and cache the new package.



CAUSE
This problem may occur if the new package ID matches an older package ID that is still contained in the SMS 2003 client's cache. The cache content is from the old package, not the current package. The cache can indefinitely retain package IDs that were downloaded to the client if no additional cache space is required. As a result, the SMS 2003 clients have a package ID mismatch.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, empty the cache on the SMS 2003 client. To do so, use the following example VBscript code: Set oUIResource = CreateObject(&quot;UIResource.UIResourceMgr&quot;)

Set objCacheInfo = oUIResource.GetCacheInfo

sTempLocation = objCacheInfo.Location

objCacheInfo.Location = &quot;c:\&quot;

objCacheInfo.Location = sTempLocation
