SYMPTOMS
After you install a Systems Management Server (SMS) 2.0 site server, files and folders may be missing from the SMS folder structure. For example, the subfolders may be missing from the SMS\Data folder.

This behavior can occur if a real-time time synchronization service is running on the server from which you run Setup.



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:

 Install new primary sites from the updated CD-ROM image on the network share.
