When you distribute software to a Systems Management Server (SMS) client, the following error message may be displayed when the advertisement runs:

Runtime ERROR!
Program \\server\smspkgd$\opl00003\mfctest.exe
abnormal program termination

You may also see the following entry in the Smsapm32.log file:

SCHED DATA : Attempting to execute
\\SMSD4L8PDCUS\SMSPKGC$\RS100006\mfctest.exe' (SERVICE context)
SCHED DATA : Command line "\\SMSD4L8PDCUS\SMSPKGC$\RS100006\mfctest.exe" CWD "\\SMSD4L8PDCUS\SMSPKGC$\RS100006\"

SCHED DATA : Return code = 0x3; The system cannot find the path specified.~~;
Program '\\SMSD4L8PDCUS\SMSPKGC$\RS100006\mfctest.exe' terminated with exit code = 3.

On the client, the program (the .exe file) may have a status of "Started" in Task Manager, even though it is no longer active.
