Your hardware MIF is that big - you must be inventorying something "bad." However, you can increase the allowed MIF size by editing the registry.
The reg key (I think) is HKLM\Software\Microsoft\SMS\Components\SMS_INVENTORY_DATA_LOADER\Max MIF Size Set it to something like 3200000 (50MB). Is that what you mean? From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mears, Mark Sent: Wednesday, April 16, 2014 4:04 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [mssms] HW Inventory size limit I'm not getting inventory from many of the clients at a customer site due to excessive size of the MIFs. Many are over 5mb in size, and there are several that are just under 20mb. The console does not allow over 5mb in size. I need to get these processed so the clients can start sending deltas. How can I get their inventory when the MIF size is so large? Thanks, Mark A.
