Q215035: SMS: Various Components Report Errors on Initial Site Startup

Article: Q215035
Product(s): Microsoft Systems Management Server
Version(s): 2.0,2.0 SP1,2.0 SP2
Operating System(s): 
Keyword(s): kbsms200 kbsms200bug

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

- Microsoft Systems Management Server versions 2.0, 2.0 SP1, 2.0 SP2 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

Shortly after the installation of a Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS)
2.0 site, SMS_SQL_MONITOR status messages (and those of other components) may
indicate errors when the component attempts to start.

CAUSE
=====

This behavior can occur when a site server is shut down after setup has
completed but before all of the SMS_EXEC threads have finished initializing and
setting up. As a result, one or multiple components may report errors.

WORKAROUND
==========

No workaround is necessary because SMS should start all services correctly at
the next startup or when the service is next requested.

STATUS
======

This behavior is by design.
