You have an association in place and the data has been captured up to the new 
SMP?

Subject: [mssms] Troubleshooting SMPs

Hello folks

I am fast becoming an un-fan of Microsoft's State Migration Points

So, I have a system which I have completely backed out from being a site 
system.  It's Server 2008R2.  I deploy File Services & Web Services, using the 
default installation and then adding ISAPI etc.

I then add the system as a site server.  We are using 2012 SP1 no CUs

I then deploy SMP role to it and the installation appears to go OK, no errors, 
component manager does its stuff etc. and reports that there is plenty of disk 
space.

I leave it for several hours, just in case and then I mark an existing SMP as 
Restore Only

Now when clients Request a State Store the only store that they are offered is 
the original server and not the new SMP - ever, regardless as to whether then 
have EVER run SCANSTATE

I am now at a loss to understand why an SMP would not appear in the list 
delivered to the client - I assume that the MP drops this information down?

Anyone got clues to help diagnose please?

Jason
