Hello,

I am getting more and more error:

SMS Software Inventory Processor failed to process the file C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Configuration Manager\inboxes\auth\sinv.box\JP98C7JM.SIC because it is larger than the defined maximum allowable size of 5000000.

"

let me what should I do? decrease the information collected? but it is always the field not collected the management needs and always for yesterday ...

Exclude the MP (I have only 2) using http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh691018.aspx

Should I keep several version of the MOF files depending on the request from the Management but if so this will add some delays before the new MOF is compiled and then run by the next inventory..., isn't it?

Thanks,

Workaround you can increase the size from REGEDIT

HKLM\Software\Microsoft\SMS\Components\SMS_SOFTWARE_INVENTORY_PROCESSOR\Max File Size
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\SMS\Components\SMS_SOFTWARE_INVENTORY_PROCESSOR

Hello,

the size is already really big "5,000,000" ...

Apparently the classes in cause are:

Start Group
Name = "CCM Recently Used Applications"
ID = 3174
Class = "MICROSOFT|CCM_RECENTLY_USED_APPS|1.0"
Pragma = "SMS:UPDATE"

Start Group
Name = "Software Shortcut"
ID = 2
Class = "MICROSOFT|SOFTWARE_SHORTCUT|1.0"
Pragma = "SMS:DELETE"

Thanks to Sherry for the TIP as effectively the big MIF files are Citrix...

Any other idea?

Thanks,

Did you disable that class?

Did you increase the MIF file size to 50 MB, in the registry?

I took the way to disable this class , I will check next week how it goes...

I have also increased the MIF file size to 5000000 I might go for 50 MB... 1 zero more !!!

Thanks,
Dom

FYI 50 MB is the max it can even be, It is a hard code within CM. I wish that they would increase to 50 GB but...

still in process... 

still in process... 

What does this mean? Did you disable the AI class? Did you increase the MAX mif size to 50 MB?

I increase the size to 50 MB I might disable the class as it is sending too many alerts for now...

Thanks,

Yes I would disable the Shortcut class and your problem will ultimately go away.

Keep in mind that all affected client will need to send full inventory be completed fixed. This *should* happen automatically, if not you will need to force it using SCCM client center or vb scripts.
