DOCUMENT:Q195702 20-MAY-2002 [sms] TITLE :SMS: CHECK20 Misidentifies SMS 1.2 Client as an SMS 2.0 Client PRODUCT :Microsoft Systems Management Server PROD/VER::1.2 SP4 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbsms200 kbsms120 ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Systems Management Server version 1.2 SP4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== Check20.exe is a utility added to the Smsls.bat file in Systems Management Server 1.2 Service Pack 4 to check for the existence of a Systems Management Server 2.0 client. If %windir% is not in the path, Check20.exe will fail and return errorlevel 1 instead of errorlevel 2. This causes the Smsls.bat calls to CLI_NT and INVWIN32 to be skipped.

If you are not severely affected by this specific problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next Systems Management Server service pack that contains this fix.
