SYMPTOMS
========

In a multi-network environment (such as IPX/ODI and TCP/IP-32 for Windows for
Workgroups), SMSRUN16 does not check the secondary network for a logon when it
attempts to run the Systems Management Server Client programs.

CAUSE
=====

This problem occurs when you log on to the NetWare network through
SECONDNET.DRV, but select Cancel when you are prompted to log on to the
Microsoft network. As a result, at system startup, SMSRUN16 runs from the
WIN.INI file Load= line and attempts to check for a valid network so it can run
Program Group Control and Package Command Manager. SMSRUN16 finds no primary
network through NETWORK.DRV because you have not logged on, but it fails to
evaluate the NetWare network through SECONDNET.DRV.

WORKAROUND
==========

To work around this problem, the driver statements can be swapped so that the
network that you are logged on to appears for the primary network
(NETWORK.DRV=).

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server
version 1.0. This problem was corrected in Systems Management Server version
1.1.
