For Integrity Servers, SMS Inventory Tool for HP ProLiant and
Integrity falsely reports default drivers as compliant
ISSUE: SMS will not update the drivers for new hardware if the Microsoft default
drivers have not been updated to the latest HP drivers. Because SMS does not check the
versions of the Microsoft drivers, it reports that the system is compliant when it is not.
WORKAROUND: Install support pack version 3.4 or later or install the appropriate HP
drivers manually.
Smart Component information is not available without a direct
internet connection
ISSUE: Smart Component information is not available when the SMS server is
connected through a DMZ (a computer acting as a buffer between the server and the
outside public network) to the FTP site. The HTML file containing the software
component information is referenced to the FTP site URL. If there is no direct internet
connection with the computer on which the component is installed, the component
description will be unavailable.
WORKAROUND: None.
IA-64 and x64 platforms need to be selected manually when
creating a custom package using the DSUW
ISSUE: When you create a custom package for IA-64 or x64 system using the Distribute
Software Updates Wizard (DSUW) for component or support pack updates, the IA-64 or
x64 platform needs to be selected manually.
WORKAROUND: This issue is being addressed in SMS SP2. For pre-SP2 SMS
installation, in the SMS Administrator Console:
1.
Select System Management Server>Site Database>Packages>Programs.
2.
Right click Programs. Select Properties...
