SMS: Msapps32.pdf Does Not Support Windows NT Clients (186400)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.2
This article was previously published under Q186400 SYMPTOMS
If you send a shared package using the default settings for Msapps32.pdf,
the package is only distributed to clients running Windows 95. Windows NT
clients do not receive the package.
CAUSE
The Msapps32.pdf file that is included with Microsoft Systems Management
Server version 1.2 does not automatically support distribution to client
computers running Windows NT that have Intel-based processors. This can
cause Program Group Control to fail on these types of client computers.
WORKAROUND
For Windows NT clients to receive the package, manually add the following
to the SupportedPlatforms line of the Msapps32.pdf file:
NOTE: Although Systems Management Server searches for the string "Windows
NT 3.1 (x86)", it will still find client computers running Windows NT 4.0.
After making this change, the line should be similar to the following:
SupportedPlatforms=Windows95, Windows NT 3.1 (x86)
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. For information on
obtaining the service pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft
