The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Systems Management Server version 1.2 SP2 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

Applying Systems Management Server 1.2 Service Pack 2 overwrites the SQL Server
files listed below, even though the existing files are of a later version. If
SQL Server 6.5 Service Pack 2 or later has been applied, followed by Systems
Management Server 1.2 Service Pack 2, it may be necessary to examine these files
and make certain the latest versions are still in place.

File name     Systems Management     SQL Server     SQL Server
             Server 1.2 SP2 date    6.5 SP2 date   6.5 SP3 date

Ntwdblib.dll     6/10/96               12/17/96       6/16/97
Dbnmpntw.dll     6/10/96               12/17/96       6/16/97
Msvcrt40.dll     9/29/95               12/17/96       6/16/97

CAUSE
=====

The Systems Management Server 1.2 Service Pack 2 Setup program does not perform
any file version checking on these files before replacing them.

WORKAROUND
==========

To work around this problem, do either of the following:

- Reapply the appropriate SQL Server service pack.

-or-

- Manually copy these files from the SQL Server service pack to their
  appropriate locations.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server
version 1.2 Service Pack 2. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
