PGC Does Not Remove Some Icons from SMS Program Groups

• Microsoft Systems Management Server versions 1.0 and 1.1

SYMPTOMS

In some situations, it is possible for Program Group Control (PGC) to create an icon for a program group, then later not remove that icon when the program is removed from the group through the SMS Administrator.

Another problem can arise when a user adds a non-SMS icon to an SMS program group. PGC will not remove that icon the next time it updates the program group.

CAUSE

This problem can occur when both the NAD database and the registry no longer contain a reference to the icon, yet the icon still exists in the program group.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in SMS 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 Product Support Services for more information on the availability of this fix.
