This article was previously published under Q304584 SYMPTOMS After you install a Systems Management Server (SMS) 2.0
Software Metering server on Microsoft Windows Server 2003, SMS reports many
9224 status messages that are similar to the following message:
An unknown error was encountered while the application
was configuring the software metering tables. CAUSE This error message is caused by a conflict with the FoxPro
runtime drivers that are included with SMS and those that are included with
Windows Server 2003.
Windows Server 2003 includes a stub driver for
FoxPro that displays a message that automatically redirects you to the Web
site and downloads the latest FoxPro driver. This stub driver is an "earlier
version" but has a newer date stamp than the drivers that are included with
SMS. Because the SMS installation is running in a hidden context, this message is not seen, and SMS does not copy the correct FoxPro drivers.
WORKAROUND To work around this problem, install the newest FoxPro
driver by visiting the following Microsoft Web site: After the update, SMS should work correctly with no further
action needed and the 9224 status messages should stop. STATUS Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems
Management Server version 2.0.MORE INFORMATION There are currently no known problems with patching the
Software Metering Server (SWM) after an attempted installation, but it is
a good idea to perform the FoxPro update before you install the SWM server.
