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

- Microsoft Systems Management Server version 1.2 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

Page 272 of the Systems Management Server Administrator's Guide specifies that
the format for remote SNMP input configuration file should begin with "#pragma".
However, the application that reads this file, Eventcmi.exe, incorrectly
requires "#Pragma" with a capital letter P.

WORKAROUND
==========

To work around this problem, modify the .cnf file to use "#Pragma" instead of
"#pragma". You can use a word processing application such as Microsoft Word to
easily replace all instances of "#pragma" with "#Pragma".

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server
version 1.2. This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft Systems
Management Server version 1.2 U.S. Service Pack. For information on obtaining
