ISSUE: Previous version of the Scan tool is executed after uninstalling and reinstalling
the SMS Inventory Tool for HP ProLiant and Integrity Update. When you create a
Package and Advertisement through DSUW, the installed Scan tool is automatically
associated and invoked at run time by the Advertisement. The Package will continue to
be advertised with the previous version of Scan tool if the Package and Advertisement
created with the DSUW is not deleted when uninstalling the inventory tool.
WORKAROUND: Delete all Packages and Advertisements created with DSUW when
uninstalling the SMS Inventory Tool for HP ProLiant and Integrity Update. Recreate the
Package and Advertisement after the inventory tool is reinstalled.
Unsupported HP servers
ProLiant ML and DL 100 series servers are not supported by the SMS Inventory Tool for
HP ProLiant and Integrity Update.
Specifying an Authentication Account for the Synchronization
Task to Use
In some network configurations, anonymous access is not allowed through the firewall,
or a specific proxy host must be specified to connect to the Internet.
WORKAROUND: In these cases you can still enable unattended operation for the
component synchronization by using the PatchDownloader.exe application to specify a
user account and password with credentials for access through the firewall. For more
information about using PatchDownloader.exe, see Chapter 6, "Managing Software
Updates," in the Microsoft Systems Management Server 2003 Operations Guide.
Enabling access privilege for the Synchronization Task when
obtaining manifest catalog from local share
ISSUE: The synchronization task fails while attempting to copy the HP manifest catalog
to a network share.
WORKAROUND: The synchronization task executed by the SMS Client Agent uses
Local System account by default. When the HP manifest catalog is stored on a network
share, the account running the synchronization task must have access privilege to the
network share. The system hosting the network share must be a trusted member of the
Active Directory domain of the SMS site server.
