SMS 2003 service running: SMS_SERVER_LOCATOR_POINT

SMS_2003_service_running__SMS_SERVER_LOCATOR_POINT_14_Rule.AdvancedAlertCriteriaMonitor (UnitMonitor)

Knowledge Base article:

Summary

The SMS Server Locator Point service has stopped. If the Server Locator Point service is not running, Advanced Clients will not be able to locate an initial local management point and Legacy Clients will not be able to locate a client access point from which to install the SMS client software. This condition will not repair itself and must be resolved before SMS can resume some of its core functions.

Causes

This will typically occur when:

The server locator point is shut down or is restarted.
SMS is being upgraded with SMS hotfixes or SMS service packs.
The server locator point is backed up.
The Server Locator Point service is manually shut down.

Resolutions

This can be corrected by:

Waiting for SMS Site Component Manager service to restart the service. This may take up to one hour.
Restarting the SMS Site Component Manager service. This will force Site Component Manager to immediately check the status of all components.
Performing a site reset to force Site Component Manager to reinstall all components.
Restarting the computer.
