Product(s): Microsoft Systems Management Server

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

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

SYMPTOMS
========


When creating a 'Run Command on Workstation' package, if you enter a command name
greater than 34 characters all characters after the 34th are hidden from view.

This can be a problem for a user who imports a PDF with long strings for multiple
commands. If a string is not unique to 34 characters you cannot tell commands
apart without opening them individually with the 'Properties' button.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server
versions 1.0 and 1.1. It has been fixed in Systems Management Server version
1.2.
