SYMPTOMS
========
When you use Systems Management Server (SMS) in a three-tier hierarchy, package
status as viewed at the middle-tier site may be inaccurate for the third-level
child site.
CAUSE
=====
This behavior occurs when you create a package at the central site in a
three-tier hierarchy. When you view the package status from the middle-tier
site's Administrator console, it indicates that the package has not been
received. However, the information is correctly presented at the central site.
RESOLUTION
==========
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Systems Management
Server version 2.0. For additional information, please see the following article
in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
Q236325 How to Obtain the Latest Systems Management Server 2.0 Service Pack
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server
version 2.0. This problem was first corrected in Systems Management Server
version 2.0 Service Pack 2.
MORE INFORMATION
================
A three-tier hierarchy is shown in the following example:
CEN (central site)
|
MID (middle tier)
|
BOT (third tier - this is usually a secondary site)
In this situation, the package status for a package created at CEN for deployment
to site BOT is not accurate when viewed from the Administrator console at the
MID site.
