SMS: SMS Executive Service Stops if SMS Database Transaction Log is Full

ID: Q210364

The information in this article applies to:

SUMMARY

If the Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) version 2.0 database transaction log becomes full, the SMS Executive service will stop. If this happens, it is possible that the Site Systems Status will not be updated due to the database being unwritable. This will cause the information about the transaction log space available to be wrong (the information is in the SMS Administrator under SMS Status\Site Status\Site System Status\).


MORE INFORMATION

The SMS Service Manager can be used to query the status of the SMS Executive. If logging is enabled for the SMS Executive service, the Smsexec.log will reflect that the service stopped.

Information on the proper sizing of the SMS Database transaction log and tuning SQL Server for SMS 2.0 can be found in Chapter 6 of the SMS Administrator's Guide.
