WINDOWS

= SYMPTOMS =

On a Windows 3.x/Netware client computer, if NETWARE.DRV and VNETWARE.386 are referred to with a full path in the SYSTEM.INI, SMSRUN16 fails to create the Systems Management Server Client Group during installation.

= WORKAROUND =

There are two ways to work around this problem:

  Place the NETWARE.DRV and VNETWARE.386 in the directory and remove the path information from the “network.drv=” and “network=” lines in the SYSTEM.INI -or-   Keep the NETWARE.DRV and VNETWARE.386 in the NWCLIENT directory. Add the NWCLIENT Directory to the path in AUTOEXEC.BAT. Then remove the path information from the “netware.drv=” and “network=” lines in SYSTEM.INI. 

= STATUS =

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Systems Management Server version 1.1. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
