SYMPTOMS
When you check for the version of the Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) Administrator Console that is currently installed on a remote administrative computer, the Administrator Console reveals only the version of SMS installed on the site server. This does not help you determine if a computer needs to update the installed version of the SMS Administrator Console.



WORKAROUND
To check the remote SMS Administrator Console version on a local computer, follow these steps:  Use Regedtd32.exe to open the computer's registry. Navigate to the following folder:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\SMS\Setup\UI Version



NOTE: If the version in this registry key is different from the version build number of the site, the SMS Administrator Console software should be updated.



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