Custom Instance Security Rights for Status Message Queries Are Deleted When You Upgrade to Systems Management Server 2003

SYMPTOMS

When you upgrade from Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) 2.0 to SMS 2003, some custom instance security rights that are assigned to user accounts are deleted. The deleted instance security rights include rights for the following instances:
  • All audit status messages for a specific user
  • All audit status messages from a specific site
  • All status messages
User accounts still have class security rights to the Query class.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because SMS 2003 setup overwrites predefined queries.

MORE INFORMATION

When you upgrade to SMS 2003, predefined status message queries are deleted, and new queries are created. As a result, instance security rights for status message queries are not preserved. To run, status message queries require only class-level Read permissions.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

APPLIES TO
  • Microsoft Systems Management Server 2003

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.
