SUMMARY
=======

A Systems Management Server 2.0 client records Windows Management Interface
(WMI) related connectivity errors in Dll.log, which is located at
%Windir%\System32\WBEM (for client computers running Windows NT) or
%Windir%\System\WBEM (for client computers running Windows 95 or Windows 98).
Dll.log reports errors connecting WinMgmt and DLLs but without date-time stamps
or further descriptions.

This is a WMI\WBEM problem and is noncritical to Systems Management Server 2.0.
