SYMPTOMS
========

If you choose to setup a secondary site and put the machine name and domain name
of the primary site server in the New Secondary Site properties box, Systems
Management Server does not warn you or stop you from committing this action.

CAUSE
=====

SMS does not check to see if the server that is specified in the New Secondary
Site properties box is already a site server.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server
version 1.0, 1.1 and 1.2. We are researching this problem and will post new
information in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
