Q150917: ODI Client Hangs on Client Setup

Article: Q150917
Product(s): Microsoft Systems Management Server
Version(s): winnt:1.0,1.1
Operating System(s): 
Keyword(s): kbsetup smssetup
Last Modified: 27-JUL-2001

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

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

SYMPTOMS
========


The NetWare ODI SMS client stops responding on install. If the client is run in
verbose mode (CLI_DOS /V), the client will stop at:

   Setup Phase
  SMS Network Type=6
 ...
  <<READING CONFIGURATION INFORMATION>>
 ...
  Novell
  NetBios
  NovellInfo


CAUSE
=====

Interrupt 7a is disabled in the Net.cfg. By default INT7a is on, which allows
applications to use interrupt 7Ah to access IPX services and to maintain
compatibility with Netware v2.0a.

Invdos.exe requires INT7a to be on.

RESOLUTION
==========

Remove the following line from the client's Net.cfg file:

  INT7a OFF

Without that line, INT7a is set to ON.

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.
