SMS: Despooler Reports Out of Disk Space in Event Log

MORE INFORMATION

The following event will appear in the Windows NT application event log:

   Event 109
   Failed to install package. There isn't sufficient disk space on package
   server \\<Server>\<Share>\<PackageID>. Disk space available on that
   server is megabytes, space required is megabytes.
				

Note that <Server>, <Share>, and <PackageID> above will be the name of your server, your package distribution share, and the ID of the package you are sending.

Also note that the amount of disk space required and disk space available is reported as null, or blank.

In the despooler log file, Despool.log, an error similar to the following error will be logged:

   ~Copying E:\_S M0000.TMP\filename.EXE to
   E:\SMS_PKGE\DOG0005D\filename.EXE, Failed, Win32 Error = 32
   $$>SMS_DESPOOLER><Thu Sep 10 09:55:37 1998~><thread=1D0>
				

This error identifies the file that could not be copied. Win32 Error 32 indicates that the process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process. The file is in use.

Event 109 should indicate that there is a file contention error, or that the file is in use, not that there is a disk space problem.
