SYMPTOMS
When you send a "Remove Package From Server Job" command, the Systems
Management Server Despooler Service cannot delete files that are currently
in use. The Systems Management Server Despooler keeps track of files that
cannot be deleted, and it attempts to "deltree" the files at a later
interval. If the distribution server is a NetWare server and the files are
in use, the Systems Management Server Despooler incorrectly lists the file
names. Therefore, the Despooler fails to completely remove the files from
the NetWare distribution server.
The Despool.log file displays a line similar to the following:
Failed to deltree [ASCII 226]O[ASCII 248]w[ASCII 244][ASCII 239]v, Win32 Error = 0
Note the file name above.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server
versions 1.0 and 1.1. This problem has been corrected in Systems Management
Server version 1.2.
