This article was previously published under Q235740



SYMPTOMS
When using Systems Management Server 2.0 to advertise a program to a user, the user might not receive the advertisement. This problem might occur if the Windows NT machine account for the machine the user is logged into resides in a domain other than the user's domain (typically the accounts domain).



CAUSE
The workstation domain name was being retrieved rather than the logged-in user domain name.



WORKAROUND
Create a Global group in the Windows NT domain where the user account resides. Add the users you want to have receive the advertisement to this group. Advertise the program to the user group in place of directly advertising the program to the user.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 2.0. This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. service pack for Systems Management Server version 2.0.
