SMS Views Created By SMSVIEW Have Incorrect Results

Last reviewed: April 23, 1997
Article ID: Q139588

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Systems Management Server version 1.1 and 1.2

SYMPTOMS

When you use the views created by SMSVIEW.EXE version 1.1, reports and queries you run against these views produce results that are inconsistent with the results returned by the Systems Management Server Administrator Tool.

CAUSE

The problem with the views has to do with the necessity to use an outer join when joining the MachineDataTable with the appropriate common or specific table.

RESOLUTION

Microsoft has modified the files, SMSVIEW.EXE and VIEWDLL.DLL, to correct this problem. To avoid use of outer joins, the new view generating program adds a "null" row to each of the data tables.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 1.1. This problem has been corrected in Systems Management Server version 1.2.
