The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Systems Management Server versions 1.0, 1.1 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========


When you run Systems Management Server Setup, it fails to generate an error
message when you try to add a list of non-existent components that includes at
least one existent (valid) component. Instead, Systems Management Server Setup
generates a message that it added all components successfully, even though the
list contains non-existent components that Setup fails to add.


CAUSE
=====

Setup fails to check if the individual components are added successfully.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server
versions 1.0 and 1.1. We are researching this problem and will post new
information in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
