SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) Installer version 2.0, a repackaged installation does not work correctly when you create it on a Novell server in a shared directory whose name contains a space.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because long file-name capability must be enabled on the reference and target computers that you are using; otherwise, a space in the directory name causes the repackage process to not complete successfully. Even though SMS supports long file names, the file systems that it interacts with must support them as well.
