  • Microsoft Systems Management Server, version 1.2

SUMMARY

When distributing Systems Management Server packages to a NetWare distribution server, you may receive an Event ID 108 error: 

   108   Failed to install package to X. Verify the package server is up
         and running and has sufficient disk space. The SMS service account
         must exist on the package server and has the same password as the
         site server, and the service account must have admin privilege. If
         the package server is a NetWare server, verify the volume exists.
This event is also generated when the Everyone group does not exist on that NetWare server.

MORE INFORMATION

The Systems Management Server Despooler fails to set permissions on the package directory on the NetWare server because it cannot find the Everyone group.

The Despooler Log shows the following message: 

   NWScanObject for user or group EVERYONE; return: ffff

   NWScanObject for user or group EVERYONE; return: ffff
