SMS: Remote Control Performance Better on Windows NT 3.51 Than Windows NT 4.0

ID: Q174556

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Systems Management Server version 1.2

SYMPTOMS

The Systems Management Server 1.2 Remote Control feature offers better performance for client computers running Windows NT 3.51 than for client computers running Windows NT 4.0. For Windows NT 3.51, Systems Management Server offers a client-side accelerated video driver for improved screen transfer. Changes made in Windows NT 4.0, which was released after Systems Management Server 1.2, prevented this enhanced video driver from being available to clients running Windows NT 4.0.
