SMS: Out of Memory Error When Launching Program Group Control (157037)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.2
This article was previously published under Q157037 SYMPTOMS
When you launch a Program Group Control (PGC) application on a client
computer running Windows NT, the client may receive an "Out of Memory"
error message.
CAUSE
This error is caused when the path has exceeded 260 characters. In an
attempt to set a working directory, the Systems Management Server 1.2
Appstart.exe program appends the path from which the program was launched
to the current path. If this new path exceeds 260 characters, the client
computer will receive the error.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, decrease the size of the path, to have enough
space to adequately append the path of the program being launched.
Generally, a path of fewer than 220 characters should be sufficient.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server
version 1.2. This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft Systems
Management Server version 1.2 U.S. Service Pack. For information on
obtaining the service pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft
