SYMPTOMS

In Systems Management Server version 2.0 the Query Statement Properties window will truncate text that exceeds 3,955 characters even though queries are designed to handle up to 4,096 characters.

You can see an example of this behavior by using the following steps:

  1. Start Systems Management Server Administrator Console and create a new query or go to the properties of a current query.


  2. Click the Edit Query Statement button.


  3. Click the Show Query Language button.


Note that you can view only 3,955 characters in this window. Queries that contain more than 3,955 characters are truncated.


STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 2.0.
