SMS: Error Message: Remote Tools Security Rights to Run Remote Tools on this Client Have Been Denied (243300)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0

This article was previously published under Q243300

SYMPTOMS

When you have appropriate Systems Management Server (SMS) security rights and try to remotely control an SMS client, you may be unable to do so, and you may receive the following error message:
Remote Tools
Security rights to run remote tools on this client have been denied.
Note that this problem may also occur when you run the Remote.exe command from a command prompt. Also, you may receive the following error message (or one that is similar to it) in the Smsprov.log file:
*
*
E:\OPALSP1\sdk_provider\nt\smsprov\SspStatusMessage.cpp(420) : User "DOMAIN\user" is unknown to SMS security and does not have permissions to log status messages.
*
*

CAUSE

This problem can occur when SQL is configured to use a case-sensitive sort order and the logged-on user name that the MMC retrieves from the workstation does not match the case of the user name in the Systems Management Server Administrator Console under Site Database\Security Rights.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 2.0.
