SYMPTOMS
When you try to install a Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) mount point on a disk that is larger than 1 terabyte (TB) on a Microsoft Windows Server 2003-based computer, the installation may fail.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because the PrimaryVolumeSpaceRemaining property is incorrectly set to a negative value for a disk that is larger than 1 TB. When you try to install an SMS mount point, Windows Server 2003 runs a condition check in the InstallExecuteSequence table in the Microsoft Windows Installer package. If the PrimaryVolumeSpaceRemaining property is set to a negative value, the condition check will fail. When this occurs, you experience the problem that is mentioned in the Symptoms section.

Technical support for x64-based versions of Microsoft Windows
Your hardware manufacturer provides technical support and assistance for x64-based versions of Windows. Your hardware manufacturer provides support because an x64-based version of Windows was included with your hardware. Your hardware manufacturer might have customized the installation of Windows with unique components. Unique components might include specific device drivers or might include optional settings to maximize the performance of the hardware. Microsoft will provide reasonable-effort assistance if you need technical help with your x64-based version of Windows. However, you might have to contact your manufacturer directly. Your manufacturer is best qualified to support the software that your manufacturer installed on the hardware.
