The information in this article applies to:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY
=======


Systems Management Server Admin does not display the correct BIOS date in the
Personal Computer Properties windows for inventoried clients that use ATI Mach32
PCI video adapters.

To determine the correct date, run Windows NT Diagnostics (WINMSD.EXE) and choose
Hardware.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server
versions 1.0 and 1.1. A fix to this problem is in development, but has not been
regression-tested and may be destabilizing in production environments. Microsoft
does not recommend implementing this fix at this time. Contact Microsoft
Technical Support for more information on the availability of this fix.
