About Me
Hello, my name is John Quirk, I’m the Managing Director of Apajove, a company working with Microsoft System Center and related technologies. I live in Derbyshire in the UK. This blog acts as an aide-memoir for me and as a platform to share some of my tips and tricks with the community and our customers. My main areas of interest are System Center, Windows Server, Windows Client, OS Deployment and virtualisation technologies, particularly Hyper-V. I have spent a lot of years working with SMS and System Center Configuration Manager as well as with OS deployment in general and all-round Microsoft infrastructure technologies.
Hi,
Could you help me understand a little more on AD Site Name.
We have approx 1000 servers installed with the SMS agent, the inventory data shows the the AD Site Name to MySiteA, some of these have the setting as NULL. The issue is that these servers have/will be moved to a new site and the invventory data still shows the AD Site name to be MySiteA and not MyNewSite.
Could you tell me what needs to be done to correct this?
Thanks
David
Hi David,
Aplogies for the delay, I’ve been away in Africa for a week or so.
The AD Site Name will be populated by the DDR (Data Discovery Record) created when AD System Discovery runs. If the site has changed then the next time discovery is executed the DDR should contain the new data and be reflected in the console.
Assuming that you’re running discovery and the above isn’t happening the first thing I’d try would be deleting one of the machine records from the console, run disco again and see if the newly created record has the correct properties.
Also check the ADSYSDIS.LOG to see if any errors are being created.
