***************************************
Microsoft is aware of the offer status issue affecting System Center Configuration Manager 2007 (SCCM) customers. The typical symptom is that offer status is no longer processed and .SVF files begin to backlog in the \inboxes\offersum.box folder on a site server.Offersum.log shows entries similar to the following are noted:---
---->: Tally 00011280001F2000. New Start Time: 12/01/2007 00:00:00, New Expire Time: 12/08/2007 00:00:00 ---->: An exception was raised: Unspecified error Warn>: Could not initialize the summarizers properties.---This issue came about starting December 1, 2007 due to an incorrect date calculation in the Offer Status Summarizer component and will affect all SCCM sites (both evaluation and licensed RTM version).There are currently no supported workarounds to this issue. Some customers have reported modification of the Site Control file have made the issue appear to go away, but this is not supported and the long term ramifications currently unknown. A hotfix for this issue is under development at the highest priority. The current plan of record is that once built and tested, the fix will be made available via the hotfix self-service portal so that a call to CSS will not be required to obtain it. Further information, including the KB article number, how to obtain the fix, and all relevant detail, will be sent back out to the community when ready. Any changes to the release plan and any schedule updates will be communicated as well.
Thanks again,
