SYMPTOMS
After you apply the RC9 version of Systems Management Server (SMS) 2.0 Service Pack 3 (SP3), updates that are made to client agent settings are not propagated to the client computers properly.

SMS 2.0 SP3 RC9 (1493.3009) was initially released to the Web for Premier customers. Shortly after this release, a problem was discovered and Microsoft re-released SP3. This article describes the availability of a hotfix to upgrade an RC9 site to the full release version of SMS 2.0 SP3, which does not have this problem.

This problem occurs only in the RC9 version of SMS 2.0 SP3.



RESOLUTION
Apply the following SMS 2.0 SP3 RC9 hotfix that upgrades your version to the full release version of SMS 2.0 SP3.

A supported fix is now available from Microsoft, but it is only intended to correct the problem that is described in this article. Apply it only to computers that are experiencing this specific problem. This fix may receive additional testing. Therefore, if you are not severely affected by this problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next Systems Management Server service pack that contains this hotfix.

To resolve this problem immediately, contact Microsoft Product Support Services to obtain the fix. For a complete list of Microsoft Product Support Services phone numbers and information about support costs, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

NOTE: In special cases, charges that are ordinarily incurred for support calls may be canceled if a Microsoft Support Professional determines that a specific update will resolve your problem. The typical support costs will apply to additional support questions and issues that do not qualify for the specific update in question.
