Product(s): Microsoft Systems Management Server
Version(s): winnt:2.0,2.0 SP1
Operating System(s): 
Keyword(s): kbMMC kbsms200 kbsms200bug kbsmsAdmin kbsms200sp2fix

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

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

SYMPTOMS
========

The Site Status node in the Systems Management Server Administrator Console may
be extremely slow on sites within a large hierarchy. When you click this node,
the Systems Management Server provider runs the sp_GetSummarizers_sitedetail
stored procedure once for every site in the hierarchy. The repeated calls to the
stored procedure are redundant and contribute to the slowness that occurs when
you open the node.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Systems Management
Server version 2.0. For additional information, click the following article

version 2.0 Service Pack 2.

  Windows Management service.

2. Replace the Sms_nsst.dll file in the
  <sms_root_directory>\bin\<platform> folder with the version
  obtained from the hotfix.

3. Register the .dll file by typing the following commands at a command prompt,
  pressing ENTER after each command:

  cd <sms_root_directory>\bin\<platform>
  regsvr32 sms_nsst.dll

4. Restart the Windows Management service and Systems Management Server
  Administrator console.
