Microsoft Systems Management Server version 1.2

SYMPTOMS

If you upgrade your NetWare Windows for Workgroups client to Windows NT, and then try to upgrade your Microsoft Systems Management Server Client software by connecting to a supported logon server (Windows NT) and running UPGRADE, the "NetworkType" flag will not be updated.

WORKAROUND

A workaround is to add a /f switch to the upgrade batch file command lines. The /f switch forces an update.
