SYMPTOMS
The Systems Management Installation Wizard (Smsman.exe) does not report an error message even though the Systems Management Server 2.0 client installation failed.

NOTE: An error message is displayed on the client computer if the initial file copy phase does not complete successfully.



MORE INFORMATION
You can use the Systems Management Installation Wizard (Smsman.exe) to manually install Systems Management Server 2.0 clients.

The Systems Management Installation Wizard reports that it completed successfully if it is able to find a Systems Management Server logon point and successfully initiate the client installation.

If the installation fails after the Systems Management Installation Wizard initiates the client installation, the error is recorded in the Wnmanual.log file located in the \Ms\Sms\Logs folder.
