TITLE   :SMS: Cannot Use Run Command Packages with NetWare Servers
PRODUCT :Microsoft Systems Management Server
PROD/VER:winnt:1.0,1.1,1.2
OPER/SYS:
KEYWORDS:kb3rdparty kbnetwork kbPCM kbsmsAdmin smsadmin smspcm

======================================================================
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

 - Microsoft Systems Management Server versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


SYMPTOMS
========

When you send a package to an entire site, the package is sent to all clients in
the site, including NetWare servers. Eventually, the Job Status will show a
status of None for the NetWare server; the Job Status will never show a status
of Complete.

CAUSE
=====

There is no way to run a "Run Command on Workstation" package on a Netware
server.

WORKAROUND
==========

Only send platform-sensitive packages to clients that can run them. You can send
these packages by using machine groups, query results or individual clients.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server
versions 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
