SYMPTOMS
Some Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) clients may not run a dependant program when you disable the program that depends on it.



CAUSE
This problem may occur if the following conditions are true:
 * You advertise a program (program A) that depends on another program (program B) to run.
 * Program B depends on another program (program C) to run.
 * You disable program B.

In this case, program C runs on SMS 2003 Legacy Client-based computers. But none of the programs run on SMS Advanced Client-based computers.

You expect that program A does not run because you disabled the program that it depends on. However, you might expect program C to run on SMS Advanced Client-based computers because program C does not depend on another program to run.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section of this article.
