SYMPTOMS
========

When you manually delete a package on a primary site, the associated
advertisement (.ofr) files are not deleted from the
<Drive>:\SMS\Inboxes\Offerinf.box folder on the secondary site.

CAUSE
=====

Distribution Manager and Offer Manager are responsible for deleting all the
advertisements that are associated with a package. On the primary site, the
deletion is triggered by SQL triggers or by Distribution Manager. On the
secondary site, the deletion is triggered only by Distribution Manager, but the
deletion is not triggered.

RESOLUTION
==========

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

located in the <Drive>:\SMS\Inboxes\Clicfg.src folder.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that
are listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was first corrected in
Systems Management Server version 2.0 Service Pack 2.
