SYMPTOMS
If a client is disconnected from a Systems Management Server (SMS) 2.0 site for long periods of time (the time varies according to inventory schedule), Copy Queue Manager on the client begins adding registry entries until the registry is filled to its capacity. This causes the loss of the user's profile as noted in the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
189119 UserEnv Returns Corrupted Profile for All Failures Including RSL Exceeded
CAUSE
If the destination is inaccessible, Copy Queue Manager does not delete the expired items in the keys under the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\SMS\Client\Client Components\SMS Client Base Components\Copy Queue\Destination XXXX
The registry keeps growing if new entries are continuously added for inaccessible destinations.
RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Systems Management Server version 2.0. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
236325 How to Obtain the Latest Systems Management Server 2.0 Service Pack
WORKAROUND
WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
Reconnect the client to the SMS site if it is still available. You can also manually delete the expired items from the client's registry.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was first corrected in Systems Management Server version 2.0 Service Pack 2.
