SMS: Admin Lose Mouse and/or Keyboard Functionality of Windows NT Clients (179564)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.2

This article was previously published under Q179564

SYMPTOMS

When performing Remote Control of a Windows NT-based client and IP as the protocol, you may lose keyboard and/or mouse functionality on the client from the Administrator program.

CAUSE

If FindAvailableSendSlot (FASS) is lost, Systems Management Server Administrator program loses the ability to use the mouse and keyboard on the client.

The client can move the mouse cursor and use the keyboard, and the changes are reflected on the Systems Management Server Administrator viewer screen. This means that the session is still active. This behavior occurs after a period of time.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 1.2. This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. service pack for Systems Management Server version 1.2.
