SYMPTOMS
When the Systems Management Server (SMS) client components are starting on a computer running Microsoft Windows 95 or Microsoft Windows 98, an MS-DOS-based program that is running in Full-Screen mode is minimized to a button on the taskbar. Typically, you see this behavior only if a full-screen MS-DOS-based program is being started on the client from the StartUp group. If you then maximize the MS-DOS-based program, it remains maximized.



WORKAROUND
To work around this behavior, delay the starting of the full-screen MS-DOS-based program. If possible, have users start such programs from a shortcut instead of having the program start automatically.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 2.0.
