SMS: Unable to Make Access Account Modifications for Packages on Custom Share Points (263417)

  • Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0

SYMPTOMS

When you use a custom Microsoft Windows NT share for a package distribution point you cannot make permission modifications for the access account.

CAUSE

This problem occurs only on previously distributed packages on distribution points that are custom-created Windows NT shares. New packages receive the correct permissions, but they cannot be modified once they are distributed.

WORKAROUND

To work around this behavior, you can change permissions if you remove the package from the distribution point, adjust the access accounts, and then redistribute the package to the distribution point.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 2.0.
