I am running SMS SP5 on W2K SP3 on its own server, have about 300 clients and 4 DC's (NT4 SP6a) and have a problem with configuration. I rebuilt the SMS box with exact configuration of the old server and did not have any problems-for a while. Now, when I try to update certain client machines, I...

Thanks ndouglass! I have decided to do the rebuild and move to new hardware as you have suggested. Another question - Do I need to remove the client from each computer or can I take down the original SMS box, rebuild and the clients will reconfigure using the new site? Can I give the new site...

I need to move my SMS server from an NT4 domain to a new W2K domain. Then I would like to upgrade the installation to a new server (more power!). Current configuration: SMS 2.0 (SP4) on W2K Server (SP3 with most patches) SQL 2000 (I think SP2) SMS Clients: 250 I want to know if it would be...

Thanks, Udir. I'll keep that in mind.

The company I work for is planning to upgrade to a W2K AD domain. My suggestion to management: To prevent bringing down the entire network and/or a very long weekend performing a upgrading to the W2K domain, we should bring up a W2K domain within the same subnet of the NT 4 domain. I believe...

Thanks, Rod. The articles you made reference to helped me solve the problem. For others that may have this problem in the future, my solution was: 1. Go to Systems Management in control panel and repair installation of remote control. 2. Update site. 3. Use the command line tool for the first...

When I try to use the remote.exe to connect to an SMS client using the IP address, I get the following error message: "Security rights to run Remote Tools on this client have been denied." I have to use the remote.exe because the actual computer does not show up in collections. On...

As soon as I try to connect to a remote computer via SMS SP4 remote control tool, it reboots the remote client. The client shows up ok, but as soon as I click the remote icon, it happens. I have also tried to connect via remote.exe using the IP address with the same result! Any suggestions?

I was wondering if anyone can help me out on this one. I have been running out of disk space because the arcserve log files are so big. So, I have run through the steps of pruning etc. with no great success. I read the other thread on this issue and initializing the db was my next option...

I am having trouble making changes on my SCO Openserver 5.0.5 (eg loading drivers, software, mounting drives-including my cdrom) because I do not understand enough of the commands. Is there a gui interface that can be loaded and accessed to make it a little easier for me? Is there a windows...

I think this link will help. I used it for my installation of the exact setup you are talking about. Good luck. http://www.swynk.com/trent/Articles/SQL2000SMSWin2k.asp BarbieGirl

Can you let me know how you made out with this problem? I am having it too and would appreciate any help I insert the SP1 CD and it says corrupt country.sys cannot continue. I am ARCserve 2000 trying to restore from a bootable CD.

I finally found a paper on the ca site. It CANNOT be done unless registry is restored also!! Their answer makes sense though. http://support.ca.com/techbases/asnt/16128.html The long and short of it: "Unlike NT directories and files, share information can not be restored directly with...

ARCserve cannot restore share permissions when files / folders are restored to "original location" - Please tell me this is not true!!! What is the point of restoring if you have to manually recreate all the shares!

But it has been working for nearly 6 months! Any other ideas?
