The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Systems Management Server versions 2.0, 2.0 SP1, 2.0 SP2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
After you upgrade a Systems Management Server (SMS) 1.2 primary site to SMS 2.0,
the SMS Administrator program does not show a version or build number for an
existing 1.2 secondary site. If you right-click the secondary site in the SMS
Administrator program, the Properties menu command is not displayed and the
Upgrade site menu command is disabled. The Secondary Site Upgrade Wizard does
not indicate that the secondary site is available for upgrade.
CAUSE
=====
This behavior can occur because the parent site needs a site control file from
the secondary site to update the parent site's database. The secondary site
automatically sends a site control file when its Site Configuration Manager
performs the next watchdog cycle.
RESOLUTION
==========
To resolve this issue, refresh the SMS Administrator program. All of the
secondary site's data is then displayed, its menu commands are enabled and the
Secondary Site Upgrade Wizard indicates that the secondary site is available for
upgrade.
To make the secondary site send a site control file immediately, open a command
prompt on the secondary site server and type the following:
"sendcode sms_site_config_manager 193" (without the quotation marks)
This command tells the Site Configuration Manager to perform a watchdog cycle;
the cycle sends a site control file to its parent.
STATUS
======
This behavior is by design.
MORE INFORMATION
================
The Sendcode.exe file is found on the SMS 1.2 CD-ROM and the SMS 1.2 Resource
Kit CD-ROM.
