SUMMARY
You can install the Systems Management Server client software to a specific disk drive by using the /d: switch on the cli_ line (for example, Cli_dos.exe) in the Smsls or Runsms batch files. For more information, see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

127072 Installing SMS Client to Drive Other Than Most Free Disk Space

However, if that switch is mistakenly used on the inv line (for example, Invdos.exe) in the Smsls or Runsms batch files, the client reports an incomplete inventory. Therefore, some icons will be missing from the Personal Computer Properties in the Systems Management Server Administrator program.



MORE INFORMATION
To prevent this problem from occurring, do not use the /d: switch on the inv line.
