SYMPTOMS
========

A File Transfer in the HelpDesk functions fails with a client computer running
Windows 95 and Novell's Client32. The administrator will see the following error
message on the Systems Management Server Administrator window:

  Unable to communicate with File Transfer slave.

WORKAROUND
==========

To work around this problem, set Permission Required to No. The Systems
Management Server administrator can also try again. Eventually, this connection
will be made, and File Transfer can continue.

STATUS
======

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