SYMPTOMS

When looking in the Systems Management Server Administrator program at the Personal Computer Properties for a Windows 95 Client, PC Memory reports the following page file information:

   Page File Name:           Not Available
   Page File Size (MBytes):  0

CAUSE

The inventory agent (Invdos.exe) looks for the page file using the following key in the System.ini file when performing a hardware inventory:

   [386enh]
   PagingFile=C:\xxx\WIN386.SWP

Because Windows 95 does not use this convention to maintain its paging file, the paging file is not found and therefore not inventoried.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in System 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.
