SYMPTOMS

When you create large queries based on the Identification table or machine name, there appears to be a size limitation and/or file locking behavior that leads to lost data, if the query is administered or added to by more than one computer running Systems Management Server Administrator at the same time.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, create or administer large queries only on one Administrator console at a time.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 1.2. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
