PGC Does Not Look For Current Connections

ID: Q153517

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Systems Management Server versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.2

SYMPTOMS

Program Group Control (PGC) maps new drive connections even if a current connection already exists.

CAUSE

When running a PGC application that requires a drive letter, PGC does not look for an existing connection to the server from which the application is being run. Although PGC detects a universal naming convention (UNC) connection, it cannot detect a connection that is mapped to a drive letter.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 1.1. It has been fixed in Systems Management Server version 1.2.
