ID: Q135129
|
The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Systems Management Server versions 1.0, 1.1
SUMMARY
Systems Management Server 1.0 and 1.1 checks the version of Microsoft
TCPIP-32 on your system. The following procedure adds the
FailedHardwareChecks entry to the SMS.INI file for Systems Management
Server 1.0 only. This article describes a method of removing the entry for
Systems Management Server 1.0 client computers.
The information in this article is intended to correct the problem
mentioned above for clients that were recently upgraded to Systems
Management Server 1.1 to allow Systems Management Server to report the
TCP/IP information to the Systems Management Server Site Server.
MORE INFORMATION
To properly remove the FailedHardwareChecks entry for the clients' SMS.INI
file, create and distribute a MSTEST script using the following procedure:
NOTE: The SMS_INI.PCD file can be created using the information listed
below. MSTest support is supplied by Microsoft Developer Support, not
Corporate Network Support. MSTest is available as a separate software
package and is not included with Microsoft System Management Server
version 1.0 and 1.1.
- Copy the SMS_INI.PCD file (located in the package directory) to the
SMS\site.srv\maincfg.box\mstest directory on your site server. You
may use Package Command Manager (PCM) to locate the PCD file.
- Create a Workstation Package for the SMS\site.srv\maincfg.box\mstest
directory. For Workstation Command Lines, choose New and enter the
following:
Command Name: MSTEST
Command Line: WBRUN20.EXE sms_ini.pcd
Automate the above and configure it as a System task.
- Select the appropriate platforms. For example, Windows 3.1, MS-DOS, or
Windows NT. Choose OK.
- In the Setup Package for Workstations window, choose Close.
- In Package Properties, choose OK.
- For the message "SMS will update the pkg. at all sites.", choose OK.
- Create the Workstation Job and make it mandatory.
The following is a MSTEST 2.0 script file. You can use MSTEST 3.0 provided
you have all the runtime files for MSTEST 3.0 in the following directory
on the site server: SMS\site.srv\maincfg.box\mstest
WARNING: Use of the MSTEST script provided in this article is at your own
risk. Microsoft provides this script "as is" without warranty of any kind.
