The information in this article applies to:
-
Microsoft Systems Management Server version 1.2
SYMPTOMS
Program Group Control reports the following error in the Pgc.log file of a
client:
Program Group Control ==> Fatal error! NNP Not running
CAUSE
Program Group Control requires that the Network Naming Provider (Nnp.exe)
be loaded on a Systems Management Server Windows 95 client.
WORKAROUND
Check the registry entry on the Win95 machine under the
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\RunServices
\<drive>:\Ms\Sms\Bin\Nnp.exe
registry key that loads this executable file. Also ensure that this file
exists in the specified path.
MORE INFORMATION
Systems Management Server Client installation creates this registry entry.
You may have to restart the client computer for this to be loaded.
Network Naming Provider (NNP) is a system application (running at Ring 3)
that provides the non-real time component of the Systems Management Server
Router. NNP loads at boot time, reads the system registry for Systems
Management Server information, formats that information, and passes it to
the Logical Network Redirector (LNR). In addition, NNP verifies server and
share status as needed, and updates the information for LNR.
In Systems Management Server 1.2, Windows 95 introduced the NNP to
dynamically choose a distribution server. If the distribution server is
unavailable, another distribution server is chosen.
