MIFWIN Does Not Open Form Specified

ID: Q150078

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Systems Management Server versions 1.0, 1.1

SYMPTOMS

When you send out a new form to the client there is no way to specify the new form as the default form. Running MIFWIN "formname" does not bring up the specified form.

CAUSE

MIFWIN does not accept command line parameters. Therefore, the form name passed to it is ignored.

RESOLUTION

MIFWIN loads the forms in alphabetical order. Naming the new form with a name that comes after the client's other forms, alphabetically, will bring the new form up as the default form. For example, if the client has a form named uninfo.xnf, sending out new form with the name tnewform.xnf will bring up the new form as the default form.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server versions 1.0 and 1.1. This problem has been corrected in Systems Management Server version 1.2.
