This article was previously published under Q261274



SYMPTOMS
In a mixed Systems Management Server (SMS) hierarchy where SMS 1.2 primary and secondary sites report up to an SMS 2.0 central site, the Distribute Software Wizard may not reliably display or distribute packages to all the SMS 1.2 default package servers configured in the SMS 1.2 sites.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, do not use the Distribute Software Wizard to distribute packages in a mixed SMS 1.2 and SMS 2.0 environment.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Systems Management Server 2.0.



MORE INFORMATION
This behavior is not a problem when you manually distribute packages using the SMS Administrator console (right-click the distribution points of the package, and then click Update Distribution Points or Manage Distribution Points).
