SYMPTOMS
After running a package from Package Command Manager (PCMWIN16.EXE), the client leaves a drive mapped to the Novell NetWare distribution server. If the servers have limited licenses, this may cause a problem where all the connections to the server are being used, and some clients will be unable to make a connection to the server.

This problem only occurs when the client does not already have an existing connection to the distribution server that provides the package.

WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, manually delete the mapped drive used by the Package Command Manager.

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 version 1.2 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):
