SMS WinNT Client Install Fails If Path Contains Trailing Space

ID: Q141243

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Systems Management Server version 1.1

SYMPTOMS

When you login from a Windows NT computer to a domain that is using Systems Management Server login scripts, the client Setup fails.

CAUSE

If an Windows NT workstation is also a dual boot MS-DOS computer and the path statement in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file contains trailing spaces, the client install will fail. This seems to only happen when using logon scripts.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 1.1. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
