SYMPTOMS
When you run Systems Management Server Executive service (Smsexec.exe) a Dr. Watson occurs on the primary site server during a package distribution, if a NetWare logon and/or distribution server has insufficient disk space to receive the package.

The Systems Management Server site server Event Log will log Event ID 109: Component = SMS_Despooler Operation = Install Object = Package Error Code = 1 Note: Failed to install package. There isn't sufficient disk space available on that server. Disk space available on that server is Y  megabytes, space required is Z megabytes.



WORKAROUND
To prevent the error from occurring, you must make sufficient space available on each target NetWare server. Sufficient disk space is required for the package to be successfully distributed.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 1.2. We are researching this problem and will post new information in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
