SYMPTOMS

Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) 2003 Express Setup does not set the site server as the default management point for the site.

CAUSE

Note You must have Modify permission for the Site security object class or instance to perform this procedure and the site server must be configured as a management point.
  1. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Systems Management Server, and then click SMS Administrator Console.
  2. In the SMS Administrator Console, expand Systems Management Server, expand Site Database, expand Site Hierarchy, expand site name, and then expand Site Settings.
  3. Under Site Settings, click Component Configuration, right-click Management Point, and then click Properties.
  4. On the General tab, click the Management Point button.

    On the Server name drop-down list select the site server, and then click OK.
