SYMPTOMS
On computers with Pentium II processors, Invos2 reports the processor as a 486DX.



RESOLUTION
A supported fix that corrects this problem is now available from Microsoft, but has not been fully regression-tested and should be applied only to systems experiencing this specific problem. If you are not severely affected by this specific problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next Systems Management Server service pack that contains this fix.

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 on support costs, please go to the following address on the World Wide Web:

The English version of this fix should have the following file attributes or later:   Date       Time               Size    File name   Platform --  08/17/98   02:32pm            151,981 Invos2.exe   (x86)



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Systems Management Server version 1.2.

The third-party products discussed here are manufactured by vendors independent of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding these products' performance or reliability.



MORE INFORMATION
To manually install the hotfix, perform the following steps on the Systems Management Server site server:  In the \Site.srv\Maincfg.box\Client.src\X86.bin directory on the site server, replace the Invos2.exe file with the version obtained from the hotfix.

NOTE: You can perform Step 1 automatically by using Hotfix.exe with the provided Hotfix.ini file. The file will be replicated at the next Maintenance Manager work cycle to all Systems Management Server logon servers to the SMS\Logon.srv\X86.bin directory. When that occurs, the clients can be updated.

To update the clients, either manually run Upgrade.bat on each client, or follow the instructions in the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
