Setting SMS Shared Application's Default Working Directory

ID: Q134323

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Systems Management Server versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.2

SUMMARY

The default directory for a shared application run under Systems Management Server cannot be set through the Administrator Tool for the application. It is, however, possible to set a specific DOS environment variable which can be used to point the application to a working directory.

To do this, set the SMS_WORKING_DIR to a specific path for the application. For example, add the following to your AUTOEXEC.BAT file and restart the computer:

set SMS_WORKING_DIR=c:\word\docs

Program Group Control (PGC) makes this path the current working directory when PGC launches the shared application. When the user selects Open from the application's File menu, the files in the c:\word\docs directory appears by default.
