CLIENT.BAT Added Incorrectly to AUTOEXEC.BAT

ID: Q137611

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Systems Management Server versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.2

SYMPTOMS

Remote Control of Windows for Workgroups client does not work, even after Windows for Workgroups is rebooted.

CAUSE

CLI_DOS appends the CALL D:\MS\SMS\BIN\CLIENT.BAT line to the end of your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, after the WIN command. Consequently, CLIENT.BAT runs after you quit Windows for Workgroups.

RESOLUTION

To correct this problem, edit the AUTOEXEC.BAT file on the client so that CLIENT.BAT is called before WIN.COM.

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 in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
