SYMPTOMS
When using the SmsrunStartupDelay function in Systems Management Server 1.2, the specified delay will not occur if the Sms.ini file is not in the root directory of the boot drive (example: C:\).



CAUSE
SmsRun16.exe is only looking for the Sms.ini file in the root directory of the boot drive. In some instances of Systems Management Server Installations, this file may be located in the %windir% directory.



WORKAROUND
Move the Sms.ini file from %windir% to C:\.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 1.2.
