SYMPTOMS
When you configure Software Distribution, it is possible to set configuration combinations for Advertisements and Packages in the Microsoft Systems Management Server Administrator Console, resulting in the failure of Software Distribution to clients.

The following settings cause a conflict, and as a result, the client does not run the advertisement as expected:
 * Package: The program environment Program can run setting is configured to Only when a user is logged on.
 * Advertisement: The advertisement schedule has a mandatory assignment, with the Assign immediately after this event item configured for logoff.

- or -
 * The program is set to run Only when no user is logged on.
 * The advertisement is set to Run at logon.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Systems Management Server version 2.0.
