236325  (http://kbalertz.com/Feedback.aspx?kbNumber=236325/EN-US/ ) How to Obtain the Latest Systems Management Server 2.0 Service Pack

WORKAROUND

When you create an advertisement that needs a high priority, set the advertisement priority to low.

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

This behavior can adversely affect the timely delivery of advertisements in a multiple-site hierarchy. Because site-to-site communication occurs using a medium priority, any advertisements that are configured to use a high priority are preempted by the site-to-site traffic.

It is especially important to configure advertisements created at a parent site with a low priority if a fast delivery to the client is required.

APPLIES TO
  • Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0 Standard Edition
