III-7 To change the number of inventory attempts SMS tries before rolling the client into another domain, change this registry value.

Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key: Software\Microsoft\SMS\Components\ SMS_MAINTENANCE_MANAGER
Value Name: Inventory False Logon Limit
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 3

A common use for this value is when you upgrade SMS versions. If you inadvertently change the site code or site name, you can see problems. Reducing this value lets the clients roll over into the new domain faster. In effect, you are moving them from the old site to a new site.

III-8 Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key: Software\Microsoft\SMS\Components\SMS_DESPOOLER\ CancelHistory
Key: < PackageName >

When SMS cancels a job, it creates a key for each job under the CancelHistory key. The only value stored under these keys is the time stamp for when the job was canceled.

III-9 Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key: Software\Microsoft\SMS\Components\SMS_DESPOOLER\ TransferPackages
Key: < Package Name >

If you choose a server other than the site server to distribute a package, a key is created for each job under the Transfer Packages key. Under this key, you find a key for each server that has been designated to distribute the package.

III-10 Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key: Software\Microsoft\SMS\Components\SMS_DESPOOLER\ TransferPackages
Value Name: < Machine Name >

This key stores information about the package.

III-11 Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key: Software\Microsoft\SMS\Components\SMS_DESPOOLER\ TransferPackages\< Machine Name >
Value Name: ShareName
Data Type: REG_SZ
Value: < any valid share name >

This value determines where on the distribution server the site server copies the decompressed package files. The share is in the format SMS_PKGx, where x is a letter; for example, SMS_PKGD.

III-12 This registry entry stores the name of the default servers that distribute SMS packages. This information is useful if certain servers are used as package servers when you do not want them performing this function.

Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key: Software\Microsoft\SMS\Components\SMS_DESPOOLER
Value Name: DefaultPackageServers
Data Type: REG_MULTI_SZ
Value: < Machine Name >

You must restart the SMS services for these changes to take effect.

III-13 Each of these values sets different aspects of SMS connections.

Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key: Software\Microsoft\SMS\Components\SMS_DESPOOLER
Value Name: ForcedDisconnectionDelayInMinutes
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 0x5

III-14 Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key: Software\Microsoft\SMS\Components\SMS_DESPOOLER
Value Name: NumberofRetriesBeforeForcedDisconnection
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 0xc

III-15 Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key: Software\Microsoft\SMS\Components\SMS_DESPOOLER
Value Name: UseForcedDisconnect
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 0

III-16 Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key: Software\Microsoft\SMS\Components\SMS_DESPOOLER
Value Name: PollingInterval
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 0x1

III-17 Hive: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Key: Software\Microsoft\SMS\Components\SMS_DESPOOLER
Value Name: InventoryChange
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Value: 0
