DOCUMENT:Q145588 27-JUL-2001 [sms] TITLE :SMS Client Group and Icons Not Created for RAS Client PRODUCT :Microsoft Systems Management Server PROD/VER:winnt:1.1,1.2 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbnetwork kbsetup smssetup ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Systems Management Server versions 1.1, 1.2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== When you execute the Systems Management Server (SMS) Client Setup from a Windows for Workgroups or Windows 95 client via Remote Access Service (RAS), the SMS Client Group and Icons are not created. CAUSE ===== After the first phase of Client Setup completes, you are instructed to restart the system to allow changes to take affect. Since Windows for Workgroups and Windows 95 RAS clients do not have a network connection when they are started, the SMSRUN16.EXE file, called from the load= line in the WIN.INI, does not execute properly. The SMS Client Group and Icons are not created. This also prevents any autostart components such as PGC and PCM from starting at bootup. WORKAROUND ========== After the system has started, make a RAS connection to your network and the manually execute SMSRUN16.EXE located in the \MS\SMS\BIN directory. STATUS ====== Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server versions 1.1. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
