After you upgrade SMS 2003 sites to SMS 2003 Service Pack 1, performance may decrease significantly

SYMPTOMS

After you upgrade Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) 2003 sites to SMS 2003 Service Pack 1 (SP1), performance may decrease significantly.

CAUSE

This behavior is caused by increased Discovery Data Record (DDR) processing during client authentication.

SMS 2003 SP1 lets the Discovery Data Manager reject a single DDR during client authentication without having to reject a complete batch of DDRs. The DDRs for each client are uploaded individually instead of being merged. (DDRs were merged in the original release of SMS 2003.)

If the intervals for the various discovery methods and for the collection updates have been modified to occur more frequently, the resulting increase in discovery data may affect server performance. On the site server, the increase in discovery data may also cause a backlog of .ddr files in the SMS\Inboxes\Ddm.box folder and a backlog of .rpl files in the SMS\Inboxes\Replmgr.box folder.

RESOLUTION

Increase the interval at which discovery methods and collection updates are run.

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.
