This article was previously published under Q157681
SYMPTOMS
Systems Management Server Inventory Agent fails to report an IP address for Windows for Workgroups 3.11 client and the following error is logged in the Invdos.log file located on the client in the Ms\Sms\Logs directory:
CAUSE
Invdos.exe does not detect TCP/IP inventory while the SMS_P environment variable is present. SMS_P is a temporary variable set in Runsms.bat or Smsls.bat, and is used for storing path detail, during client setup. The variable is then reset during termination of the respective batch file.
MORE INFORMATION
The absence of TCP/IP inventory causes Remote Control using IP sockets to fail. The following message appears during inventory (if it is run in verbose mode by setting SMSLS=1 prior to execution):

WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, do the following to Runsms.bat (which resides at \SMS\SITE.SRV\MAINCFG.BOX\CLIENT.SRC) or Smsls.bat (which resides at \SMS\SITE.SRV\MAINCFG.BOX):
Add an additional variable (for example: SMS_P2) to the :START section. For example:
:START REM Check to see if we can save path and reserve the necessary environment REM space before continuing. set SMS_P=%PATH% set SMS_P2=%PATH% set SMS_TEMP=123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345 if "%SMS_TEMP%"=="123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345" goto FIND_OS goto LOW_ENV
Reset the SMS_P variable prior to execution of Invdos.exe in the :RUN_DOS section. For example:
:RUN_DOS if not exist %0\..\%SMS_BIN%\setls%SMS_OS%.exe goto NOPATHARG0 setls%SMS_OS% -m:E -i -p:%SMS_BIN%\CLI_DOS.EXE -pa:/p:%%SMS_UNC%%\ - pa:%SMS_VERBOSE% %SMS_VERBOSE% set SMS_P= setls%SMS_OS% -m:E -i -p:%SMS_BIN%\INVDOS.EXE -pa:/l:%%SMS_UNC%%\ - pa:/i -pa:%SMS_VERBOSE% %SMS_VERBOSE% goto RESTORE
Restore the path from the new variable (SMS_P2) by changing the path line in the :RESTORE section. For example:
:RESTORE REM Restore the previous path setting. PATH=%SMS_P2% goto END
Reset the new variable, instead of SMS_P in the :END section. For example:
:END set SMS_P2= set SMS_OS= set SMS_BIN= set SMS_VERBOSE=
STATUS
