SYMPTOMS
========

If you apply or upgrade to Systems Management Server version 2.0 Service Pack 1
on a client computer, you may install Microsoft Visual C++ 6 (6.00.8168.0)
version of the run-time libraries. This can lead to heap compatibility problems
in third-party programs installed on the client using the run-time libraries as
outlined in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article:

testing at a later time, to further ensure product quality. Therefore, if you
are not severely affected by this problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait
for the next Systems Management Server service pack that contains this fix.

client with VC++ 6 Service Pack 3 (6.0.8447.0) or later.
