ATI Mach32 PCI Video BIOS Date is Incorrect

Last reviewed: March 4, 1998
Article ID: Q137791

The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Systems Management Server versions 1.0 and 1.1

Systems Management Server Admin does not display the correct BIOS date in the Personal Computer Properties windows for inventoried clients that use ATI Mach32 PCI video adapters.

To determine the correct date, run Windows NT Diagnostics (WINMSD.EXE) and choose Hardware.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server versions 1.0 and 1.1. A fix to this problem is in development, but has not been regression-tested and may be destabilizing in production environments. Microsoft does not recommend implementing this fix at this time. Contact Microsoft Technical Support for more information on the availability of this fix.
