SMS: Windows 95/98 Clients Hang When Shutting Down if Nortel Symposium Software Is Installed (247836)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0

This article was previously published under Q247836

SYMPTOMS

When the Systems Management Server (SMS) version 2.0 client is installed on a Microsoft Windows 95-based or Microsoft Windows 98-based computer with the remote control agent and Nortel Symposium software version 01.11.35 also installed, the computer may display an "illegal function" error message for the Wuser32.exe component and stop responding (hang) while displaying the shutdown screen.

WORKAROUND

To work around this issue, obtain the latest Windows Library Update from the following Microsoft Web site: This update does not resolve the issue with Wuser32 error messages at shutdown, but allows the computer to shut down without hanging after you acknowledge the error message.

STATUS

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