MORE INFORMATION

If you choose to work around this problem by obtaining the hotfix, be aware that the Invmac.mac file is compressed, so you must use Hdecomp.exe (found in the Support directory of the Systems Management Server 1.2 CD) to expand it. Expand the file to a user authentication module (UAM) volume, and place it in the Site.srv\Maincfg.box\Client.src\Mac.bin directory of each site server. Macintosh clients must run the Systems Management Server Installer script to get the updated Invmac.mac file. Note that Hdecomp.exe requires Smsunzip.dll to work properly.
