SYMPTOMS

After you install the Simplified Chinese version of Systems Management Server (SMS) 2003 Inventory Tool for Microsoft Updates Version 3 (ITMUv3), the following reports generate incorrect information:
  • All computers with a specific software update distribution status
  • Software update distribution status by software update ID
  • All computers with a specific update advertisement status
  • Software update advertisement status by software update ID
  • Distribution status summary of software updates
  • Summary of software updates that failed to deploy
Additionally, some new reports do not appear in the Reports list.

This problem does not occur if the English version of SMS 2003 and the English version of ITMUv3 are installed.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the Swupdate_reports_chs.mof file is corrupted.
