SMS Does Not Use Local Thesaurus for Word for Windows 6.0 (126576)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.0
  • Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.1
This article was previously published under Q126576

SYMPTOMS

When you specify the location of the thesaurus during a workstation installation of Word for Windows version 6.0 on a Windows for Workgroups version 3.11 system, Systems Management Server version 1.0 overwrites the user-modified entries in the WINWORD6.INI file with the Universal Naming Convention (UNC) location of the Windows for Workgroups shared thesaurus.

For example, after you install Word for Windows, the WINWORD6.INI file contains: 
   [Microsoft Word]
   Thesaurus 1033,0=\\<server name>\<share name>\PROOF\MSTHES.DLL,
   \\<server name>\<share name>\PROOF\MSTH_AM.LEX
You modify the WINWORD6.INI file to read: 
   [Microsoft Word]
   Thesaurus 1033,0=C:\WINWORD\PROOF\MSTHES.DLL,
   C:\WINWORD\PROOF\MSTH_AM.LEX
After you install SMS, the WINWORD6.INI file contains: 
   [Microsoft Word]
   Thesaurus 1033,0=\\<server name>\<share name>\PROOF\MSTHES.DLL,
   \\<server name>\<share name>\PROOF\MSTH_AM.LEX

STATUS

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