SYMPTOMS
When you use the Insert line into text file option in Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) Installer, a temporary file named ~Glbs383.glb is created. When other clients on the network write to the same location, this temporary file may be overwritten.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if you use a script that writes to a text file on a network drive. Different computers that run the script can update the same temporary .glb file.



WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, first create the file locally, and then copy it to the network drive. Copy the local file from .txt to  .txt.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 2.0.
