SYMPTOMS
========

When you try to retrieve inventory data, a Software Inventory Rule that is
created by a PDF import process may not return the data.

CAUSE
=====

This problem can occur because when a PDF is imported in SMS, the inventory rule
syntax and date are not validated. Because of this, the package may be unable to
locate the appropriate file.

RESOLUTION
==========

To work around this problem, manually create an inventory package in the SMS
Administrator to check syntax.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server
version 1.2.
