Windows NT or Windows 2000 Clients That Are Logged On Do Not Start Client Components

SYMPTOMS

When you use a push installation to install the Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) 2003 Legacy Client components on a Windows 2000-based or a Windows NT-based client computer, the SMS 2003 client components may not start.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs when a user logs on to the client computer while the SMS 2003 client components are installed. The Advertised Programs Monitor (Smsmon32.exe) and the SMS client component launcher (Launch32.exe) must run in the user context. These programs start only in the user-context mode when the user logs on to the client.

WORKAROUND

To work around this behavior, you must log off and then log back on to the client computer after the SMS 2003 Legacy Client has installed.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.

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.
