SYMPTOMS
In Systems Management Server 2003, you want to see the log files that are stored in the C:\Minint\Smsosd\Osdlogs folder on the destination computer so that you can troubleshoot a problem. However, if you first try to open the C:\Minint\Smsosd folder, you receive the following error message:

C:\MININT\SMSOSD is not accessible.

Access is denied.



CAUSE
This problem occurs when your user account does not have sufficient permissions to gain access to the C:\Minint\Smsosd folder. Currently, only members of the local Administrators group can gain access to this folder.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, open the C:\Minint\Smsosd folder by using a user account that is a member of the local Administrators group.

Note Users who are not members of the local Administrators group can open the C:\Minint\Smsosd\Osdlogs folder by going directly to it. However, they cannot first open the C:\Minint\Smsosd folder.



STATUS
This behavior is by design.
