SMS: PGC Does Not Work in a Trusted Domain with Windows 95

ID: Q157589

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Systems Management Server version 1.2

SYMPTOMS

When you use Program Group Control (PGC) and Windows 95 in a trusted domain, Windows 95 client computers do not receive shared applications. This problem occurs if the Windows 95 client computer is validated in a master user domain and Systems Management Server is located in a resource domain. A Windows 95 client computer can receive PGC applications if it is validated in the resource domain.
