CAUSE
This problem may occur if the advertised program and the dependent program are configured to run under different conditions from each other. For example, program A is set to run
Only when a user is logged on, and this program depends on program B. Program B is set to
Run once for every user.
This problem may also occur in the following scenario:
- You configure program A with the following properties:
- Runs whether or not a user is logged on
- Runs with administrative rights
- Depends on Program B
- You configure program B with the following properties:
- Requires a user to be logged on
- Runs with the logged on user's permissions
- You advertise program A to a collection of SMS
clients as a mandatory advertisement.
Typically, in this scenario, the SMS
client runs program B first and then
runs program A. However, if a user is not logged on to
the computer, the Advertised Programs Manager (SMSAPM) tries to
run program A, but SMSAPM detects that the dependent program B must run first. Because program B requires a user to be logged on, the following error is logged repeatedly in the
SMSAPM32.log file:
Sleeping. Trying to get PEA IPC server in 1 sec.
Because program A is the primary advertised program, it receives a "failed" error condition. When
a user logs on to the computer, program B runs as expected, but program
A never runs.
