Article: Q181042
Product(s): Microsoft Systems Management Server
Version(s): winnt:1.0,1.1,1.2
Operating System(s): 
Keyword(s): kbScheduler smsscheduler
Last Modified: 30-JUL-2001

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Systems Management Server versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

The Scheduler records some "DBG" entries, as in the following example:

  DBG>> Send request about to write bad data. Component SMS_SCHEDULER

If you use Dumpsend.exe to check the involved send request, you can see that the
send request has been corrupted. The destination site ID and the job ID are
blank.

CAUSE
=====

A desynchronization between the SENDER and the SCHEDULER causes the SENDER to
update a deleted instruction file. An incomplete (corrupted) instruction file is
created.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server
versions 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2. This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S.
service pack for Systems Management Server version 1.2. For information on
obtaining the service pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft
