inventory runs but server shows only badmifs



The software and hardware inventory appears to run on client copmuters. The
client's inventory agent log looks fine (report ran, completed, and
successfully sent to correct mp). When looking at my SMS 2003 server however
there is no inventory data for clients under the system resources. I've
noticed these 3 primary errors in the server's component status:

********************************************
Component: SMS_INVENTORY_DATA_LOADER
Type: Milestone
Message ID: 2703

SMS Inventory Data Loader failed to process the delta MIF file
"Xv6wj1v2t.MIF" and has moved it to
"\SMS\inboxes\auth\dataldr.box\BADMIFS\ly041s36.MIF."

Possible cause: The file attempted to update inventory information
in the SMS site database that does not already exist, or the file
contains invalid syntax.

Solution: The client inventory needs to be resynchronized, which
will be done automatically. Look for the status messages 2714 and
2715, which indicate the resynchronization has begun.

SMS Software Inventory Processor failed to process software
inventory file "\SMS\inboxes\auth\sinv.box\vl181hhl.SID,"
and has moved it to "\SMS\inboxes\sinv.box\BADSinv\4yu7czsx.SID."

Possible cause: The file attempted to update inventory information
in the SMS site database that does not already exist, or the file
contains invalid syntax.

Solution: The client inventory needs to be resynchronized, which
will be done automatically. Look for the subsequent message 3703,
which indicates the resynchronization has begun.

SMS Software Inventory Processor requested a resynchronization

update inventory information in the SMS site database that does

I've tried running a full inventory on the client. The inventory logs look
good again but still nothing on server side. I've removed and reinstalled
the advanced client but no help. I've ran a wbemtest.exe on clients and the
instances all appear to be fine. I also made certain the server inventory
agents are enabled and properly setup.

All of the wbem logs and wmi on the clients look good yet I continue to have
nothing but badmif files come in and thus no inventory data. Not certain
where to look next. Anyone have any ideas or more areas I should look into?

Thanks,
Ron
