| Description | Length of data given in Inventory Agent output file does not match expected length: <C:\SMS\site.srv\inventry.box\badraws\00000000.RAW> MachineName = client machine name SiteCode = xxx Component = SMS_EXECUTIVE |
| Event Information | According to Microsoft: Cause: This error occurs when Windows NT clients have not been upgraded to the Systems Management Server 1.2 Service Pack 2 or later version of the Inventory Agent executable file (either Inv32cli.exe Invwin32.exe). Resolution: The inventory agent typically starts every 24 hours to determine whether inventory needs to be taken. If the answer is yes, inventory is taken and a .raw file is created. For computers running Windows NT Workstation, which use Inv32cli.exe, the .raw file is stored on the local hard disk drive. When the user logs on to the network, Systems Management Server moves any .raw files to the logon server. If the client sends a .raw file generated by a pre-SP2 version of Inv32cli.exe, the error described in the SYMPTOMS section occurs. For other client computers running Windows NT that use Invwin32.exe, the .raw file is not stored on the local hard disk drive, but is created on the Systems Management Server logon server. Again, if the .raw file is created by a pre-SP2 version of Invwin32.exe, the error occurs. Systems Management Server 1.2 Service Pack 2 and later add extra information gathering for CPU Type. Because of this, it was necessary to increase the size of the CPU record string from 44 bytes to 54 bytes. The Inventory Processor checks the integrity of all data before converting the .raw file to a .mif file. It expects the record length to be 54 bytes and therefore discards the .raw file when it is not. Systems Management Server 1.2 Service Pack 4 once again increases this record to allow improved CPU detection. After the Systems Management Server client has been updated, the problem does not occur. The client automatically updates its client files when Runsms.bat or Smsls.bat is run from an updated Systems Management Server logon server. |
