SYMPTOMS
Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) Available Programs Manager (APM) may not be able to run a program that is advertised through SMS and that is set up to use the Microsoft Windows NT client software installation account. The following entries are typically seen in Smsapm32.log if you are experiencing this problem. These entries will not appear one right after another.
NAL[1] - ERROR: failed check if device is connected. The local device name is already in use. NAL[1] - ERROR: failed to register with the connection with Connection Arbiter. The local device name is already in use. NAL[1] - ERROR: failed to make the device connection. The local device name is already in use. SCHED DATA : Return code = 0x80070055; The local device name is already in use.~~; Could not enable program 'Z:\SMSPKG\AAA00001\REGSVR32.EXE /S'. SCHED DATA : Handling an error condition (0x80070055) for program 'regsvr32' in package 'regsvr32'.
Additionally, a status message 10003 that is similar to the following is recorded:
An error occurred while preparing to run the program for advertisement "AAA20000" ("regsvr32" - "regsvr32"). The operating system reported error 2147942485: The local device name is already in use.
CAUSE
This problem may occur if any one of the following conditions is true:
- You installed SMS Service Pack 5 (SP5).
- You applied the post-Service Pack 4 (SP4) hotfix that is described in Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 810059.
- You applied any other post-SP4 hotfix that includes Progrm32.dll version 2.0.1493.4167 or later.
This problem only occurs if a package is set up to use more than one SMS Distribution Point.
There is a problem with the way APM creates its network connections when a program that requires a drive letter is configured to use the Microsoft Windows NT client software installation account. This problem was first introduced with the hotfix that is described in Knowledge Base Article 810059. This hotfix is included in SMS SP5.
