Status message 2715 is generated many times after you install the Device Management Feature Pack for Systems Management Server 2003

After you install the Device Management Feature Pack for Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) 2003, the SMS Inventory Dataloader component logs many resynchronization status messages. The SMS Inventory Dataloader component generates status message ID 2715 every time it processes a Management Information Format (MIF) file from a device management client computer.

This problem occurs because each hardware inventory report from a mobile client computer is marked for resynchronization. The SMS Inventory Dataloader component generates status message ID 2715 when it processes an inventory resynchronization.

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section. This problem was first corrected in Systems Management Server 2003 Service Pack 2.

A list of everything that has been inventoried during each inventory cycle is stored on the SMS 2003 desktop client computer. When the inventory cycle runs, the client computer compares the collected data to the inventory history. The client computer sends only the changes (delta) to the inventory history.

On a mobile client computer, bandwidth usage is small because mobile devices do not have much hardware to inventory. To conserve memory on the mobile device, historical inventory is not stored. Because mobile devices do not store inventory history, the mobile client computer sends a full inventory MIF file after each inventory cycle.
