Re: SMS Administrator Console



Hoping somebody can help me with this as well. I can open and connect to
site server, but everything under the root on the console displays an hour
glass when I click on it. My OS is XP sp2, but Windows Firewall is NOT
running on my workstation. DCOM settings are correct. Other network
administrators are having no problems what so ever, and they too are running
XP sp2. I have full admin rights to everything on our network. You name it,
and I've got the admin rights to it. My workstation is in the same domain,
and we have only one Site. Getting same errors in my adminui.log at what Tim
reports.
Very frustrating as I've seen posts such as this just about everywhere but
no clear solution.
Thanks,
Kelly

Tim,

thanks for replying. I have been digging around a bit and have actually
resolved my issue. I am not sure if it's the same as yours but here's how I
resovled it:

I have 2 SMS site servers, the primary site & a Database server (SQL 2000)
on a 2000 Server. It turned out to be a problem on the SQL Server where the
site server couldn't query the DB tables. I noticed the following error in
smsprov.log

Microsoft SQL Server reported SQL message 229, severity 14:
[42000][229][Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]SELECT permission
denied on object 'SecurityObjs', database 'SMSSite1', owner 'dbo'.

After a lot of head scratching, this tunred out to be because the site
machine account did not have local Administrator rights on the SQL server. I
had originally added the MACHINE account to the group, but something in our
Group Policy was resetting it every so often and removing the entry.

Anyway, we got round that by adding the account at the Group Policy level
and it works a treat. Just got tons of other problems now!

Not sure if that will help you, good luck.

Mark.

Mark,

Not yet. Other, higher priority problems have pushed this one further down
the line. I will be sure to post something once I have a resolution.

Is this a case for Microsoft PSS?

The adminui.log does contain a few of errors. I will paste them here:

Nothing out of the ordinary in the event viewer. All machines are in the
same domain and receive the same GPOs. Also, all machines are on the same
subnet and nothing is blocked "inside" to "inside".

Did you check C:\SMSADMIN\logs\adminui.log and see what errors show up?
Also check your event viewer, could be a setting on the machine. Lastly,
check your AD policies.

Allowing anonymous remote access rights in DCOM still did not resolve the
issue.

Even thought they are XP SP1, the SP2 fix might work:

All XP systems are SP1.

Are all the XP systems SP1? If XP SP2, maybe a firewall issue?

I have a Windows 2003 server running SMS 2003 SP1. All users are
running
Windows XP SP1 and an SMS Admin console that is SP1. Certain
machines
will
connect to the site database but when you click on "Collections",
the
console
merely states "There are no items to show in this view."
Apparently,
the
problem is machine specific and is not security related because it
doesn't
matter who is logged in. On certain machines, it always works. On
others,
it
never works. Any suggestions?
