SMS: Drive Letter Selection for SMS Client Files Is Inconsistent (186406)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.2
This article was previously published under Q186406 SYMPTOMS
When the client files are installed by using the Systems Management Server
client setup executable (for example, CLI_DOS, CLI_NT), the drive with the
most free space is used.
However, if client setup is invoked by using Invwin32 to install the
Systems Management Server client on a logon server, for example, the same
logic does not apply.
If the administrator adds servers through the Systems Management Server
Administrator's Site Properties, Site Configuration Manager installs the
logon server directory tree to the drive specified in the user interface
(UI), but the client setup process may place the client files on another
drive.
