-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

Logon Server Manager uses a case-sensitive string comparison to detect if a
domain is still active. It first builds a list of domain configuration files by
using the domain names from the Ntlogon.pcf file, and then later checks this
list against a list in the registry to detect any missing domains.

If the domain name in the .pcf file is not the same case as the domain name
stored in the registry, the check is unsuccessful and the service marks the
domain as DEINSTALL_PENDING. This can cause sites managing that domain to
repeatedly add and remove the logon files and folders from the logon points.

RESOLUTION
==========

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