Perf Collection: Site Server Inbox auth\sinv.box Backlog on secondary site

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

The total number of files in the auth\sinv.box inbox of the software inventory processor.

This folder temporarily stores client software inventory files (.sic, .sid, and .sis) from management points in Configuration Manager 2007 sites and down-level SMS 2003 SP1 sites.

Causes

A backlog of files might indicate that the software inventory processor cannot connect to the Configuration Manager database or that too many files were received.

Resolutions

Examine the Sinvproc.log file on the site server for errors or additional information.
