SUMMARY

When you install the Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) 2.0 client on a computer that is running Microsoft Windows 95, Microsoft Windows 98, or Microsoft Windows Millennium Edition (Me), SMS may occasionally report exceptions in various client logs. In addition, SMS status message 669 may be reported to the site server from these clients during the initial boot process.

MORE INFORMATION

This problem may occur if there is insufficient environment space allocated in the Config.sys file on the client. To resolve this issue, increase the amount of environment space that is available to the system by editing the Config.sys file and adding or modifying the following line:

shell=c:\command.com /e:size /p

In this example, size is the value that you should adjust to a size that addresses the needs in your individual situation.

Note: The SMS client exceptions and status messages do not interrupt work, nor are there any desktop error messages displayed. The SMS client records any exceptions in the appropriate SMS log files and generates status messages which are sent up to the site and stored in the database as part of typical SMS client operations.
