SMS: Delete Special Still Available with View-Only Access

 Last reviewed: September 23, 1997
Article ID: Q172225
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Systems Management Server, versions 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2

SYMPTOMS

If a user has restricted rights (set through the Systems Management Server Security Manager) to view only Personal Computer Properties, the user is still able to see a Delete Special menu option. The user is also able to select the Delete Special command; however, nothing is deleted from the database.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server versions 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

When the user first enters the Systems Management Server Administrator program, he or she will see the Delete Special menu option under the Edit menu. The user can select the option, but no systems are removed from the database. After the user has viewed the personal properties of a computer, the Delete Special menu option is no longer available on the Edit menu.
