SYMPTOMS
If you create too many inventory packages in the Microsoft Systems
Management Administrator and you run SMSLS.BAT from a Windows for
Workgroups 3.11 computer the following error message appears:
The inventory output file has not been created.
Run INVDOS /v to determine why.
When you run INVDOS /V you will see something similar to the following:

CAUSE
This happens when the PKG_16.CFG file becomes to large.

Use the Audit utility to inventory software instead of creating packages
solely for inventory.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Systems
Management Server version 1.0. We are researching this problem and will
post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes
available.
