SYMPTOMS
When Rservice is used to start a service on a target computer, it references the [Startup Parameters] section of the Rservice.ini file, if it has been defined. The parameters defined in this section are not passed to the service correctly when it is started.



WORKAROUND
You can use the Server Manager utility to start the service after it is installed. The startup parameters can be defined prior to starting the service.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 1.2. This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.2 U.S. Service Pack.
