The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Systems Management Server version 2.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
After you delete a large number of advertisements, subsequent offers of new
advertisements may be slow. In addition, new computers may be slow to receive
advertisements after joining a collection if the previous advertisement was
deleted.
CAUSE
=====
When you delete advertisements, Offer Manager creates a .del file for each
advertisement to be deleted. When processing a .del file, Offer Manager opens
and possibly modifies all .ins files on the site. Given a large site with many
clients, and many .ins files, this process can cause a lot of disk input/output,
and Offer Manager may be very slow to process the changes.
WORKAROUND
==========
To work around this issue, delete only a small number of advertisements at a
time.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products that are
listed at the beginning of this article.
