Hello ALL, There are a few applications that we use here which require the configuration of an ODBC System Data Source after installing and was wondering if any of you may know if there is a way to do this via SMS (2003). All of our clients are running WXP/SP1. THANKS in advance for your help...

We just recently went to SMS 2003 with all advanced clients which is working great except for the fact that when I send out programs via packages the advertisement does not return a "completed" status message even though the application has been delivered and verified. The following are the...

I just upgraded SMS2.0/SP4 to SP5 and after doing so the SMS Service Manager has stopped responding. When I go to start the Service Manager I get an error that says "error communicating with the specified SMS Site Server". The last message I see for the Site_Component_Manager is "SMS Site...

Hello ALL, Our laptop users use AT&T for VPN access to the network while on the road. AT&T uses netfirewall. This netfirewall will not allow SMS to communicate with the client which then renders it orphaned. The logs say that "access is denied" for those clients. Has anyone out there had a...

After migrating to Win'XP we started seeing an error that says "Communication with the host was interrupted and could not be re-established. (-20)" at which point the FMP DB, which is on a server, fails to display. We then have to force quit the application and start all over. This was...

Anyone familiar with this error? Full error message is "runtime error 200 at 077D:108C". This happens when I double click on an old DOS data translator (.exe file). I've tried manually setting the compatibility mode to W'98 and all other platforms to no avail. I also ran the wizard and...

Lately we have had a few users trying to open a regular WORD and/or EXCEL document and they get a blank page with the application open in the background. We've tried opening directly from an email links and from the local drive which does not seem to make a difference. Any ideas??? Thanks in...

Does anyone have an idea as to why a remote control service would just disappear? I can fix it by running an smsclean utility and then resending a manual ccr to reinstall ALL services, but my question is, WHY IS IT HAPPENING in the first place? Thanks in advance for any help...

Can someone please tell me how to get this service to re-appear in Windows Services? For some reason it has disappeared from some clients. What happened was that the SMS account that is set to start the service (when it was there) was not part of the admin group. Now that I've added the account...

I've checked in a few places and cannot figure out how to create a package that just tells the user that it's time to run and that's it. Nothing else. Anyone have any ideas or places that I can go to get these instructions. I try not to come here til I've exhausted any other options but I'm...

Package is set to run at the current date & time and has been processed by the CAP, but clients are not recieving the package. Its just a basic software install. When I go to Control Panel\Advertised Programs I get an error which says " Failed to connect to the Advertised Programs...

Two computers on different subnets are the same one in SMS (with different names). Properties for the incorrect one show IP address under IPAddress[0] and [1] as incorrect subnet. The computer was conected on that subnet a while ago. IPAddress[2] shows correct subnet. Is there any way to get rid...

Hello ALL, I accidentally turned on discovery for the entire domain and so it went and added the whole western U.S. which I do not manage. So I decided to do a special delete of all systems and now it is taking it's time on reloading my clients. Out of 121 XP clients that I originally had, I...

Heres the deal: We are in the process of migrating our users to WinXP from Win98. We have deployed about 100 XP machines. Out of those 100, 40 or so where done this past weekend. Some are not showing up as discovered and some are even showing up as installed clients, My thoughts are that the...

I've noticed that after someone gives a solution to a posted problem, the person does not reply with a "Thanks, that fixed it" or a "Thanks for your input but it did not work". It would be a great benefit to all of us if we all remembered to do so... just a though [thumbsup2]

Hello ALL, Can anybody tell me why an XP client would show the incorrect OS in the client properties? It is showing as a NT 4.o Server (???) This computer is running the exact same Image as those which are showing the correct OS. So I'm unable to manage it because it thinks it's a server. Oh...

Hello ALL, Does anyone know if there is a way to refresh the component status on new clients instead of waiting til it refreshes on it's own. I don't know how long that would be and I'm getting impatient. I started the NT remote install this morning (9:30am PT) and enabled the additional...
