Docerr: SMSVIEW Program Item Not Available

Last reviewed: April 22, 1997
Article ID: Q123425

The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Systems Management Server version 1.0

In the "Running SMSVIEW Generator" section of the Microsoft Systems Management Server Help file (SMS.HLP), the first paragraph states:

   The SMSVIEW program is automatically installed on primary site
   servers. You can start SMSVIEW using the SMSVIEW program item
   from the Systems Management Server program group. The SMSVIEW
   program runs on the Windows NT operating system.

The second sentence is incorrect because the SMSVIEW program item (icon) is not created or available in the Systems Management Server program group by default. If you want to use the SMSVIEW program, the location of the program is as follows:

   SMS\SITE.SRV\<platform>.BIN

where <platform> can be one of the following:

   x86   (for Intel-based computers)
   MIPS  (for MIPS-based computers)
   Alpha (for Alpha-based computers)
