Two Systems Management Server 2003 collections do not appear after you upgrade from Systems Management Server 2.0
After you upgrade a server that is running Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0 to Microsoft Systems Management Server 2003, you notice that the following two collections do not appear in the Collections container:
All Windows Workstation or Professional Systems
All Windows Server Systems
Instead, the following two collections are listed in the Collections container:
All Windows NT Workstation Systems
All Windows NT Server Systems
However, if you perform a new installation of Systems Management Server 2003, these collections do appear. You expect the same collections to appear when you upgrade to Systems Management Server 2003 as when you perform a fresh installation of Systems Management Server 2003.
This problem occurs because the existing Systems Management Server 2.0 collection names are retained when you upgrade to Systems Management Server 2003.
To work around this problem, rename each collections to the correct SMS 2003 collection name. To do this, follow these steps:
- Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Systems Management Server, and then click SMS Administrator Console.
- Locate and expand the Collections subtree.
- Right-click the All Windows NT Workstation Systems collection, and then click Properties.
- In the Name text box, change All Windows NT Workstation Systems to All Windows Workstation or Professional Systems, and then click OK.
- Right-click the All Windows NT Server Systems collection, and then click Properties.
- In the Name text box, change All Windows NT Server Systems to All Windows Server Systems, and then click OK.
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section of this article.
When you upgrade from Systems Management Server 2.0 to Systems Management Server 2003, the Setup program does not rename these Systems Management Server 2.0 collections to the same names as those that appear when you perform a fresh Systems Management Server 2003 installation. However, the collection identifiers (IDs) remain the same for both an upgrade installation and a fresh installation.
Also, when you install Systems Management Server 2003, additional collections are created to provide the same information as the
All Windows Workstation or Professional Systems collection and the
All Windows Server Systems collection.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 2003
