SMS Client Does Not Run a Dependant Program When You Disable the Program That Depends On It
Some Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) clients may not run a dependant program when you disable the program that depends on it.
This problem may occur if the following conditions are true:
- You advertise a program (program A) that depends on another program (program B) to run.
- Program B depends on another program (program C) to run.
- You disable program B.
In this case, program C runs on SMS 2003 Legacy Client-based computers. But none of the programs run on SMS Advanced Client-based computers.
You expect that program A does not run because you disabled the program that it depends on. However, you might expect program C to run on SMS Advanced Client-based computers because program C does not depend on another program to run.
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section of this article.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Systems Management Server 2003
Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
