     and verify that Make TCP/IP is set to Active and the Load Only When Needed
     option is not enabled.

MORE INFORMATION
================

If you choose to work around this problem by obtaining the hotfix, be aware that
the Invmac.mac file is compressed, so you must use Hdecomp.exe (found in the
Support directory of the Systems Management Server 1.2 CD) to expand it. Expand
the file to a user authentication module (UAM) volume, and place it in the
Site.srv\Maincfg.box\Client.src\Mac.bin directory of each site server. Macintosh
clients must run the Systems Management Server Installer script to get the
updated Invmac.mac file. Note that Hdecomp.exe requires Smsunzip.dll to work
properly.
