SMS2003 Offermgr tweak
The Offermgr on a SMS2003 Primary site may take hours on startup until running productive, because it does create or verify all the offer files for SMS2003 legacy Clients.
If there are no SMS2003 legacy clients within your environment, there is an option in the SiteControl file to disable legacy support which prevents offermgr to create these legacy offer files.
To disable legacy support:
- Make sure you have a backup.
- Stop all SMS Services for the site.
- Make a backup of the sitectrl.ct0 from sms\inboxes\sitectrl.ct0 file
- Use text editor on sitectrl.ct0
- Find "Create CAP Instructions" string, this will be in the SMS_OFFER_MANAGER section of the site control file.
- Change "PROPERTY <Create CAP Instructions><><><1>"to "PROPERTY <Create CAP Instructions><><><0>" to disable the work to support std clients
- Save the file and restart services, check offer manager log, the lines about creating private copies, inserting tables, flushing offer info cache etc should be omitted and the offer manager startup should be much faster.

I will implement this tweak into the "SMS Site Settings Tweak" Utility (http://sourceforge.net/projects/smssettings/)
