Technote (troubleshooting)
Problem(Abstract)
On Windows 7 and Windows 2008 R2 operating systems, the file size of the directories continuously change. Because of the file size changes, you might see many file integrity monitoring events even though the files in the directory have not changed.
Symptom
1. Agent is upgraded from previous versions, such as PSW 2.1, SPW 2.2, PD 10.1.
2. Run FIM schedule comparison.
3. Some file directories are raised File_Modified events, but nothing change for the files under these directories.
Resolving the problem
To resolve the issue, FIM will ignore the file size change of directories by setting the file size of the directories to empty. For agents that are updated from previous version (PSW 2.1, SPW 2.2, PD 10.1), you must run a complete baseline to reset the existing FIM database.
