SMS: Program Group Control May Cause an Access Violation (173989)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.2
This article was previously published under Q173989 SYMPTOMS
Under certain conditions, an access violation (AV) may occur when Program
Group Control (PGC) first runs after you log on to the network. Under
Windows 95, this problem manifests itself as an AV in Kernel32.dll. Windows
16-bit and Windows NT platforms can also be affected.
CAUSE
As PGC starts, it enumerates the user groups to which the user belongs
(global groups for Windows NT domains, or user groups for NetWare domains),
for the user's current logon domain, and for each server listed in the
user's Sms.ini file.
If the user is a member of a substantial number of user groups and also has
two or more logon server entries listed in the Sms.ini file, this problem
may become evident during every logon attempt.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server
version 1.2.
A supported fix is now available, but has not been fully regression-
tested and should be applied only to systems experiencing this specific
problem. Unless you are severely impacted by this specific problem,
Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next Service Pack that contains
this fix. Contact Microsoft Technical Support for more information.
