SMS: Microsoft Installer Application May Not Install Correctly When Using NT AutoLogon (263681)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0 SP1
This article was previously published under Q263681 SYMPTOMS
When you use Systems Management Server 2.0 (SMS) to deploy a Microsoft Installer (MSI) application that requires a restart to Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Server or Workstation using the autologon functionality, the MSI Setup may either not complete, or leave the machine in an unknown state. Either one, or both of these events may occur.
CAUSE
When SMS restarts the client computer, a log-off process occurs before the restart initiates. When autologon is used, the client actually logs back on immediately after being logged off before the system shutdown is called.
This behavior causes the "RunOnce" sections of the registry to be executed before the computer restarts, leaving the computer in an unknown state.
RESOLUTIONTo resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Systems Management Server version 2.0. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the
