SYMPTOMS
If you add an inventory rule for a package in the Systems Management Server Administrator File Properties dialog box and type the full path to the file and the filename, the following symptoms occur:


 * The inventory agent is unable to find the file.
 * If you add a property such as Checksum to the rule, you cannot obtain the value for that property.



CAUSE
The rule parser requires that you type only the filename without the full path to the file.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, type the filename without the path to the file.

To retrieve the value of a property for the rule, choose the Browse button to find the file (instead of typing the filename).



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server versions 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2. We are researching this problem and will post new information in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
