SUMMARY
=======

64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows XP are not supported as Systems Management
Server (SMS) 2.0 clients in either 32-bit or 64-bit mode.

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

Starting with SMS 2.0 Service Pack 3 (SP3), 32-bit versions of Windows XP are
supported. With SMS 2.0 SP3, if you attempt to install the SMS client on 64-bit
versions of Windows XP by using Smsman or Client Configuration Manager (CCM),
the installation may appear to be successful. If you attempt to install the
client by using Smsls, you receive error messages stating that Snsboot is a
valid image, but not for that computer type.

For additional information about SMS support for Windows XP, see the "Support for
New Operating Systems and Applications" documentation at the following Microsoft
