STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Systems Management
Server version 1.2.

The third-party products discussed here are manufactured by vendors independent
of Microsoft; we make no warranty, implied or otherwise, regarding these
products' performance or reliability.

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

To manually install the hotfix, perform the following steps on the Systems
Management Server site server:

1. In the <SMS_root_directory>\Site.srv\Maincfg.box\Client.src\X86.bin
  directory on the site server, replace the Invos2.exe file with the version
  obtained from the hotfix.

  NOTE: You can perform Step 1 automatically by using Hotfix.exe with the
  provided Hotfix.ini file.

2. The file will be replicated at the next Maintenance Manager work cycle to all
  Systems Management Server logon servers to the SMS\Logon.srv\X86.bin
  directory. When that occurs, the clients can be updated.

  To update the clients, either manually run Upgrade.bat on each client, or
  follow the instructions in the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge
  Base:
