 * Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0 Standard Edition

This article was previously published under Q256097



SYMPTOMS
When a program is advertised to both Microsoft Windows NT-based and Microsoft Windows 98/95-based clients by using the Only when no user is logged on option on the Environment tab of your package's program item, administrators do not receive an error message from Windows 98/95-based clients if the program does not run.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the Only when no user is logged on option is designed to be used only by Windows NT-based clients.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, make 2 advertisements, one for Windows NT-based clients, and one for Windows 98/95-based clients.



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