SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft Systems Management Server, when Application Control (APPCTL) runs out of memory trying to allocate a buffer space to determine which user groups a user belongs to, the following error message may appear:

   Failed to connect to SMS network server. Cannot determine which user

In addition, if the same behavior occurs during the logon process, APPCTL displays a dialog box with the same error message every 15 minutes until the allocation of a buffer space is successful.
