After applying Systems Management Server 1.2 Service Pack 2 or later, the
updated Appsta16.exe file fails to run the configuration command line for
shared applications that have the option "Runs with UNC Name" selected.
This version of Appstart.exe is only used on client computers running
Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups 3.11. They normally receive the
following error:
Cannot configure <app name>. Cannot obtain the configuration program
name.
It is also possible for different errors to occur as well.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, do either of the following:
- Configure the shared application to run with a drive letter and not a
UNC connection.
-or-
- Copy all of the files used by the configuration command line to the
SMS\Site.srv\Maincfg.Box\MStest directory. This may not always be a very
desirable solution if the configuration requires a large number of
files.
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.
