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

- Microsoft Systems Management Server versions 1.2, 2.0, 2.0 SP1, 2.0 SP2 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When you upgrade from Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) 1.2 to SMS 2.0,
all time restrictions and priorities set for outboxes are removed. This removal
pertains to all types of senders, for example, the local area network (LAN)
sender and the Remote Access Service (RAS) sender.

WORKAROUND
==========

To work around this issue, re-create the time restrictions and priorities on the
new SMS 2.0 site.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products that are
listed at the beginning of this article.

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

In SMS 1.2 you can define the times and priorities for each type of outbox, for
example, standard or asynchronous RAS. The equivalent settings for SMS 2.0 are
standard, asynchronous, ISDN RAS, X25 RAS, SNA RAS, and courier senders. The
sender's times and priorities are set in the Address properties on the Schedule
tab.

Chapter 8 of the Systems Management Server Administrator's Guide discusses these
different sender types and how to configure them.
