Error message after you add the latest security updates to a software updates package in Systems Management Server 2003: "The failure description was "11203"."

SYMPTOMS

After you add the latest security updates to a software updates package in Microsoft Systems Management Server 2003 (SMS), you receive the following message in the SMS Status Message Viewer after the advertisement runs:
Message ID - 10007
Description: The program for advertisement "Advertisement Name" failed ("Advertisement Name" - "PackageName").
The failure description was "11203".
Additionally, the PatchInstall.log file on the SMS client computer contains an error message that resembles the following error message:
Unable to open registry key for package (PackageName), Error return (2)
Error in getting the scan program name and command line, Scan will not be called
CreateSMSStatusMessage() succeeded; the status message object handle is 0x00A3F7A0.

CAUSE

This issue may occur when the software updates package is configured to use an incorrect scan tool package. Or this issue may occur when the scan tool package has not yet run on the SMS client computer.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, you must change the software updates package to use the correct scan tool package with the Distribute Software Updates Wizard. Then, you must re-advertise the software updates package to the SMS Clients.
