DOCUMENT:Q215057 23-OCT-2000 [sms] TITLE :SMS: Multiple SMS2 Sites Cannot Use Same NetWare and NDS Servers PRODUCT :Microsoft Systems Management Server PROD/VER:winnt:2.0 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbsms200 kbsms200bug kbOSNovell ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Systems Management Server version 2.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY ======= Multiple SMS 2.0 sites cannot use the same NetWare Bindary Servers and NetWare NDS servers as logon points. If an existing SMS 2.0 NetWare logon point is selected to be used as the existing SMS Site server, the following error occurs: MessageId: SRVMSG_NWLGMNGR_ERROR_LOGONPNT_IN_USE SMS NW Logon Server Manager detected that NetWare bindery server "" is already being used as an SMS Logon Point by another SMS site. Solution: Only one SMS site should be configured to use server "" as an SMS Logon Point. Using the SMS Administrator console, remove this server from the list of Logon Points used for the SMS NetWare Bindery Logon Discovery and Installation methods, either for this site or the site that is currently using this server as an SMS Logon Point. MORE INFORMATION ================ Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 2.0. Since ScriptIt is unsupported and due to its limitations, Windows Scripting Host may be a better alternative. WSH also has its limitations but it does allow for the traditional constructs.
