How to Install OS/2 1.3x System Management Server Clients (130938)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.0
This article was previously published under Q130938 SYMPTOMS
Microsoft System Management Server does not properly install files on OS/2
1.3x clients. When the client files are not correctly installed, the OS/2
client is not properly inventoried.
CAUSE
System Management Server uses the SMSLS.CMD file to install files to OS/2
client computers. SMSLS.CMD determines whether a file named MDOS is located
in the client's %COMSPEC% directory. If the file is not present, the client
files are not installed.
NOTE: The MDOS file is shipped with the IBM Windows for OS/2 product. The
%COMSPEC% directory is defined by the %COMSPEC% system variable on the
client computer. To determine %COMSPEC% directory, type SET at a command
prompt.
RESOLUTION
If the MDOS file is not present, create a MDOS file of 0 bytes length and
place it in the %COMSPEC% directory. This will allow Systems Management
Server to install the client files correctly.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in System Management Server
1.0. This problem was corrected in Systems Management Server version 1.1.
