SMS: Error 87 When Using RSERVICE (173786)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.0
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.1
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.2
This article was previously published under Q173786 SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to start or stop a service using the RSERVICE utility with
the /C switch, an error 87 occurs. Although RSERVICE gives messages about
not succeeding to start or stop a service, the command actually does
succeed.
NOTE: The /C switch is used to specify that a connection is to be made to
each computer using the service account prior to executing the service
command(s).
Uninstalling a service using the RSERVICE with the /C switch does not give
an error 87 like start or stop. It also does not give the usual output
about removing files and accounts from the client, nor does it successfully
uninstall the service from the client.
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 1.2 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining the
service pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base
