SYMPTOMS
When you try to take an Application Center 2000 Service Pack 1 cluster member offline by using the Application Center 2000 Load Balancing Tool, the operation may be unsuccessful if you installed the Application Center 2000 Load Balancing Tool after you installed Application Center 2000 Service Pack 1.



CAUSE
The Application Center 2000 Load Balancing Tool is unsuccessful because it creates its actions with the RunInteractively property enabled in the Lbdevicehm.mof Managed Object Format (MOF) file. Application Center 2000 Service Pack 1 Health Monitor and Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) versions contain a security change that removes the ability to run actions interactively. Application Center 2000 Service Pack 1 Health Monitor setup updates existing actions to change the RunInteractively property and does not allow the creation of new actions with this property through the user interface. However, MOF files can bypass this check and create actions with the RunInteractively property enabled.



RESOLUTION
The MOF file (Lbdevicehm.mof) has been updated on the download site to install the actions with RunInteractively disabled.

The following file is available for download from the Microsoft Download Center:

Download Application Center 2000 Load Balancing Tool (acext1.exe) now

The Acext1.exe file contains the following files:   Acext.exe Aclbdevmon.exe Certmgr.exe Lb device help.doc Lbdevicehm.mof Setup.bat Setup.vbs Updatepath.vbs



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, do one of the following:
 * Install the Application Center 2000 Load Balancing Tool before you install Application Center 2000 Service Pack 1.
 * Edit the Lbdevicehm.mof file to set the RunInteractively property to false before you install the Application Center 2000 Load Balancing Tool.
