DOCUMENT:Q191342 30-JUL-2001 [sms] TITLE :SMS: PGC Fails to Configure Shared Applications on WFW Clients PRODUCT :Microsoft Systems Management Server PROD/VER::1.2 SP2,1.2 SP3,1.2 SP4,2.0,2.0 SP1,2.0 SP2 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbPGC smspgc ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Systems Management Server versions 1.2 SP2, 1.2 SP3, 1.2 SP4, 2.0, 2.0 SP1, 2.0 SP2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== 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 . 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.
