SUMMARY
=======

Microsoft Product Support Services does not recommend or support the use of
Microsoft SQL Server 7.0 (either in native mode or in SQL Server 6.5
compatibility mode) as the database engine for Systems Management Server 1.2.

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

Architectural changes in SQL Server 7.0 introduce incompatibilities between SQL

investigating possible resolutions for a future service pack.
