SMS: Pause Key Is Mapped to NUMLOCK During Remote Control (173712)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.2

This article was previously published under Q173712

SYMPTOMS

During a Remote Control session, the Pause key at the administrator's console is mapped to the NUMLOCK key. Pressing the Pause key during a Remote Control session engages NUMLOCK on both the client and the administrator's workstations. This problem only occurs when a 16-bit client running Wuser.exe is being controlled.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, have the user on the remote client computer press the NUMLOCK key.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 1.2. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
