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

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

SYMPTOMS
========

The [sight] section of the Sms.ini file now has a "SyncSends" value. The default
value for this entry is 0; a value of 1 is for blocking sends. However, after a
client is upgraded by executing Upgrade.bat or performing a site-wide client
update (by following the steps listed in article Q166771, "SMS: How to Force
Site-Wide Client Updates" in the Microsoft Knowledge Base), this value is
removed. In addition, the [logonhistory] section may also be removed.

STATUS
======

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