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

SYMPTOMS

When you use Microsoft Systems Management Server version 1.0 with a non-English version of Windows NT, one or both of the following problems may occur:

  • Site Configuration Manager cannot set any directory permissions.


  • Despooler fails on any package because the directory permissions cannot be set.



RESOLUTION

To allow SMS to work with non-English versions of Windows NT Server, the following procedure is recommended in User Manager:

  1. Duplicate the non-English local Administrators group to "Administrators" in English.


  2. Duplicate the non-English local Guests group as the "Guests" group in English.


  3. Duplicate the non-English local Users group as the "Users" group in English.


  4. Duplicate the non-English local Users group as the "Everyone" group in English and add the global Domain Guests group to it.
