SYMPTOMS
Consider the following scenario:
 * Both Automatic Updates and Microsoft System Management Server (SMS) 2003 Inventory Tool for Microsoft Updates (ITMU) are configured to update a client computer.
 * System Management Server 2003 ITMU starts to deploy an update to a client computer.
 * Automatic Updates starts Windows Update to download an update.

In this scenario, the SMS 2003 ITMU update may be unsuccessful.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because both Automatic Updates and ITMU use the CopyToCache function to copy an update to the internal Windows Update download cache.

For more information about the CopyToCache function, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, set Automatic Updates on the client computer to Notify but do not download or install. The SMS ITMU tool requires Automatic Updates to run. If you disable Automatic Updates, you would prevent the ITMU tool from functioning. By setting the Automatic Updates to Notify but do not download or install, you keep the service running while also preventing the problem that is described in this article.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the &quot;Applies to&quot; section.
