SYMPTOMS
========

In the SMS 1.1 Japanese environment, it is not possible to map Windows NT
clients to <new domain> from <current domain> using the Smsls.ini
file.

Running Smsls.bat in verbose mode will show:

       Find the Server from the INI file
     get def INI Name using path from arg[0]
     inifile(\\<servername>\NETLOGONsmsls.ini)
     SMS.INI sez () () () () ()
     current sez (\\<servername>\NETLOGONsmsls.ini)
     Check (\\<servername>\NETLOGONsmsls.ini) for domain
     Error:-1 Opening (\\<servername>\NETLOGONsmsls.ini)

NOTE: This problem occurs only with the Japanese version of SMS1.1(x86, Alpha,
Mips).

CAUSE
=====

A backslash (\) is missing between NETLOGON and smsls.ini.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Japanese version of Systems
Management Server version 1.1. A fix to this problem is in development, but has
not been fully regression-tested and should be applied only to systems
experiencing this specific problem. Unless you are severely impacted by this
specific problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next Service Pack
that contains this fix. Contact Microsoft Product Support Services for more
information on the availability of this fix.
