Product(s): Microsoft Systems Management Server
Version(s): winnt:1.1,1.2
Operating System(s):

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Systems Management Server versions 1.1, 1.2 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


SYMPTOMS
========

Only eight (8) Logon servers are listed in the SMS.INI file on Systems
Management Server clients, even though more exist within the site.

CAUSE
=====

By default, the SMS.INI on the client only lists eight(8) Logon Servers.

When Client Setup (CLI_NT.EXE, CLI_DOS.EXE or CLI_OS2.EXE) run, the client only
reads the first eight entries from the DOMAIN.INI and places that information in
the SMS.INI file on the client.

STATUS
======

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