SYMPTOMS
On a 16-bit Windows client, after you run a shared application and log off (without exiting Windows), when you log on again, Program Group Control will attempt to configure the shared applications. If you are using Smsls.bat in or as your login script, you may be executing the SMS login script at the same time PGC is configuring the shared applications. As a result you may get one or more of the following errors:

Sharing Violation on Drive C: Abort, Retry, Fail

Could not open the application database. Your configuration will not be updated this time

Failed to find Domain Controller. Cannot determine which groups the user belongs to. Please contact your administrator.

There is a network error

PGC will fail to configure the shared applications and will not create the program groups.



CAUSE
Which error occurs seems to depend on how much of the login script has executed when PGC starts its configuration. PGC waits 1 second after it detects that a user has logged on before beginning its configuration.



WORKAROUND
Manually run PGC after the login script has completed. If PGC is executed manually immediately after the script has completed, it will succeed.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server versions 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
