SYMPTOMS
If you create a Run Command on Workstation job at the central site that has a distribute phase sending the package to a machine group of X distribution servers at each of Y child sites, the remaining sites, which do not have distribution servers, will show errors.

The error is in the job status window for the site, which has a working status of Failed. When you drill down into the job details, the line with "site instruction arrival" shows a status of Complete, but the second line with Systems Management Server distribution server processing shows a status of Failed.

Systems Management Server should not attempt to do any distribution server processing to sites that do not have a distribution server in the distribute phase.



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