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

- Microsoft Systems Management Server versions 2.0, 2.0 SP1 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you double-click the SMS tool in Control Panel, you may receive the
following error message:

  An error occurred while Windows was working with the Control Panel file
  SMSCFG.CPL

CAUSE
=====

This error message can occur if the SMS client has more than 20 network adapters
(physical or virtual/dial-up adapters). One type of server that may have more
than 20 network adapters is the 3Com EdgeServer.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Systems Management
Server version 2.0. For additional information, click the following article

  Q236325 How to Obtain the Latest Systems Management Server 2.0 Service Pack



STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server
version 2.0. This problem was first corrected in Systems Management Server
version 2.0 Service Pack 2.

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

To install the hotfix:

1. Stop the SMS_SITE_COMPONENT_MANAGER and SMS_EXECUTIVE services.

2. Copy the updated Compver.ini file to the Inboxes\Clicomp.src\Base folder.

3. Copy the hotfixed Clicore.exe file to the
  Inboxes\Clicomp.src\Base\<Platform> folder.

4. Copy the updated Mslmclin.dll, Ndsclin.dll, and Bindclin.dll files to the
  SMS\Bin\<Platform> folder.

  NOTE: for Alpha, only one file, Mslmclin.dll, is included with this fix--this
  is normal.

5. Start the SMS_SITE_COMPONENT_MANAGER and SMS_EXECUTIVE services.

The default Client Configuration Installation Manager (CCIM) polling interval is
23 hours. Therefore, it may take up to 23 hours for the hotfixed files to be
propagated to the clients. To speed up this process, you can stop and restart
the SMS Client Service on each client. You can also create a software
distribution for one of the Resource Kit tools (Setevnt.exe or Cliutils.exe),
along with the appropriate parameter(s) to start a CCIM work cycle. For
information about the proper syntax to use with these tools, see the Resource
Kit documentation.
