-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
After you install Software Metering on a secondary site by using the Systems
Management Server (SMS) CD-ROM, an invalid site system on the secondary site
server is created. You see "SMS Software Metering Database Server" with a blank
server name in the Administrator console at the primary site. The server name is
displayed as "\\" in the console.
CAUSE
=====
Adding the Software Metering component to a secondary site creates an "SWM SQL
Database" status object and site system at the secondary site. This site system
has an empty server name and cannot be changed or deleted. Numerous error
messages are produced on the system because the status of the site system cannot
be determined.
WORKAROUND
==========
You must install Software Metering when the you first create the secondary
site.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server
version 2.0.
