Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 2.0.

The third-party products discussed here are manufactured by vendors independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding these products' performance or reliability.

MORE INFORMATION

Systems Management Server 2.0 is not able to discover NetWare servers running only NetWare Directory Services (NDS).
