Windows NT or Windows 2000 Clients That Are Logged On Do Not Start Client Components
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.
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.
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.
This behavior is by design.
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.
