walsafi -> RE: SMSEXEC stopping with NetDisc (10/15/2008 11:21:54 AM)
|
sorry for the delayed response guys, as you can probably tell, i'm not on the forum very much. anyways, the deal is this: on our network here we migrated from sms 2003 to sccm 2007 around the start of the year. we've had a number of issues, one of the biggest being that all of a sudden deployment of images to machines had completely stopped working. i worked with various microsoft techs on this and we pretty much (95%) got the issue resolved a few months back. it turned out to be a combination of issues with our sccm configuration as well as a problem with dell systems in particular. i won't go into to many details about that, but it's more or less fixed. now we still have had sporadic problems imaging and remoting onto to user machines via sms. the other day i noticed that smsexec.exe had failed a bunch of times over the past few months in the event viewer on our server. i checked out the crash dump logs and found that the crash.log always referenced SMS_NETWORK_DISCOVERY. i sent a few screen shots to a tech there named eric as well as my crash logs. during the course of conversation he said that network discovery was for legacy support. he advised me to turn that off, which i did, and i haven't seen the problem arise since then.
a little background: i am new to sccm so you guys probably know alot more about this product than i do. i actually came across this site while looking for resources about the product because i'm the one at my company now who primarily works with it and will be supporting most if not all issues with it. also, kcross, you mentioned you are running 64 bit systems. we are running 32 bit, so i'm not sure if that has any bearing on the issue.
if you all don't mind, i'd love to know more details about how you are using network discovery and what your experiencs are with it in conjuction with AD discovery. and given that all of your devices are in an OU somwhere in AD, why would you need network discovery? pardon my ignorance, but as i said, i'm new to this beast.
