SMS: Windows NT Clients in SMS 1.2 Must Have Server Service

ID: Q190300

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Systems Management Server version 1.2

SUMMARY

In a Systems Management Server site, Windows NT clients must have the Server Service running. The Server Service is necessary for the remote installation and update of the client-side services on Windows NT-based systems.

MORE INFORMATION

The Server Service is required because the Systems Management Server Client Configuration Manager Service must be able to connect to the client's registry remotely to add the Systems Management Server Client Services and to make any other changes required to the client's registry.

Running Windows NT systems with the Server Service disabled in a Systems Management Server site is an untested configuration and may lead to other issues.
