SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to install a Systems Management Server (SMS) hotfix on a secondary site, the hotfix may seem to be installed correctly, or may not be installed. If the hotfix is not installed, you may see the following text in the Q .log file that is generated when you install a hotfix:

Installation aborted. This system is not running SMS version number 2.00.1239.1000. Instead, the version reported is 000.

-or-

Installation aborted. This system is not running SMS version number 2.00.1380.1000. Instead, the version reported is 000.

However, the server is in fact running SMS 2.0 or SMS 2.0 SP1.

The Q .log file is located in the SMS\Logs folder on the site server on which you installed the hotfix. The  portion of the file name represents the number of the hotfix you installed.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur if you either installed or upgraded an SMS 2.0 secondary site directly from the SMS Administrator console at the primary site. This issue does not occur on sites that you installed or upgraded by using the CD-ROM.



WORKAROUND
WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

To resolve this issue, manually create or update the required registry value. To create or update this value on secondary sites:  Start Registry Editor. Locate and click the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\SMS\Setup

 If the Full Version value exists, manually update it with the correct data value:  SMS 2.0 release version (build 1239): 2.00.1239.0000 SMS 2.0 SP1 release version (build 1380): 2.000.1380.1000</ul>

</li> If the Full Version value does not exist, create it and add the appropriate data value:

Value Name: Full Version

Data Type: REG_SZ

Value: 2.00.1239.0000 -or- 2.00.1380.0000

</li> Quit Registry Editor.</li></ol>

After you follow these steps, you can continue installing the hotfix.
