SYMPTOMS
When an advertised program is run with the following properties, the value of the TMP environment variable after the reboot is not the same as the value before the reboot:
 * Run mode: Run with administrative rights (no account specified)
 * After running: SMS restarts computer

When this behavior occurs, a software distribution that uses a two-phase process and shares data by using the TMP variable may not work. Files that are stored by using the TMP variable are not available after the reboot because the TMP variable is changed.



CAUSE
The value of the TMP variable is not properly restored within Advertisement Program Manager (APM).



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Systems Management Server version 2.0. For additional information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
