Systems Management Server 2003 Clients Do Not Cache a New Package When You Reuse Older Package IDs
When you configure Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) 2003 to use package IDs that packages have used before, the SMS 2003 clients may not download and cache the new package.
This problem may occur if the new package ID matches an older package ID that is still contained in the SMS 2003 client's cache. The cache content is from the old package, not the current package.
The cache can indefinitely retain package IDs that were downloaded to the client if no additional cache space is required. As a result, the SMS 2003 clients have a package ID mismatch.
To work around this problem, empty the cache on the SMS 2003 client. To do so, use the following example VBscript code:
Set oUIResource = CreateObject("UIResource.UIResourceMgr")
Set objCacheInfo = oUIResource.GetCacheInfo
sTempLocation = objCacheInfo.Location
objCacheInfo.Location = "c:\"
objCacheInfo.Location = sTempLocation

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
