SYMPTOM
On your Windows 3.x NetWare client, if NETWARE.DRV and VNETWARE.386 are referred to with a full path in the SYSTEM.INI, SMSRUN16 fails to create the Systems Management Server Client Group during installation.



CAUSE
There is directory path information for VNETWARE.386 and NETWARE.DRV in the SYSTEM.INI file.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem:


 * Place the NETWARE.DRV and VNETWARE.386 in the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory and remove the path information from the "network.drv=" and "network=" lines in the SYSTEM.INI file.

-or-
 * Follow these steps:
 * Keep the NETWARE.DRV and VNETWARE.386 in the NWCLIENT directory.
 * Add the NWCLIENT directory to the path in AUTOEXEC.BAT.
 * Remove the path information from the "netware.drv=" and "network=" lines in the SYSTEM.INI.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 1.1. A fix to this problem is in development, but has not been regression-tested and may be destabilizing in production environments. Microsoft does not recommend implementing this fix at this time. Contact Microsoft Product Support Services for more information on the availability of this fix.
