Symptoms
Consider the following scenario:
-
A fallback status point role is enabled on a site server that is running Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager 2007 Service Pack 1 (SP1).
-
Some clients are assigned to this fallback status point.
-
Multiple network adapters are installed on one or more clients.
In this scenario, the fallback status point may stop processing the state message files from clients. Additionally, state messages that have long file names may be stuck in one of the following folders:
-
Statesys.box\Incoming
-
SMS_CCM\FSPStaging
For example, the following state message file has a long file name:
00-04-23-D8-D1-DD00-04-23-D8-D1-DC00-04-75-E7-4D-8D00-06-5B-AB-5E-F400-04-23-D8-C4-0300-04-23-A6-87-2200-04-23-A6-87-2300-04-23-D8-C4-02_CCM Framework Communication State_1000.smxNote If files are stuck in the SMS_CCM\FSPStaging folder, only files that have long names are stuck. State messages that have shorter file names are processed.
If state message files that have long file names are stuck in the Statesys.box\Incoming folder, all state message file processing is blocked.
Additionally, the following errors are logged in the Statesys.log:
CFileQueueMgr::SafeMove - Could not move file 'D:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Configuration Manager\inboxes\auth\statesys.box\incoming\00-22-19-34-90-3C00-22-19-34-90-3A00-22-19-34-90-3800-22-19-34-90-3600-1B-21-37-54-4500-1B-21-37-54-4400-1B-21-37-54-4100-1B-21-37-54-40_CCM Framework Communication State_1000.SMX' to 'D:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Configuration Manager\inboxes\auth\statesys.box\process\1a6eb8px.SMX', err=3 SMS_STATE_SYSTEM
A state message processing thread ended with a fatal error, backing off... SMS_STATE_SYSTEM
Cause
This problem occurs because the fallback status point queries the client's ID to define the state message file name. If the client ID is missing, the fallback status point queries all MAC addresses of this client to define the state message file name.
If multiple network adapters are installed on this client, the total length of the fallback status point incoming folder name plus the state message file name (all clients' MAC addresses) may exceed the 255 character maximum path length limitation.
