SMS: PCM Command Line and "Cannot Find File" Error

• Microsoft Systems Management Server version 1.2

SYMPTOMS

When Package Command Manager (PCM) attempts to run a command, and the command line points to a specific drive letter (for example, Q:\App1), a dialog box appears with the following error message:

Cannot find the file <filename>. Make sure that the file exists on your system and that the path and filename are correct.

CAUSE

Package Command Manager is looking for the file in the package, not in the specified location.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, place the file referred to in the command line in the package. Do not specify a path in the command line properties of the package.

A supported fix is now available, but has not been fully regression- tested and should be applied only to systems experiencing this specific problem. Unless you are severely impacted by this specific problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next Service Pack that contains this fix.
