SUMMARY

A Systems Management Server 2.0 client records Windows Management Interface (WMI) related connectivity errors in Dll.log, which is located at %Windir%\System32\WBEM (for client computers running Windows NT) or %Windir%\System\WBEM (for client computers running Windows 95 or Windows 98). Dll.log reports errors connecting WinMgmt and DLLs but without date-time stamps or further descriptions.

This is a WMI\WBEM problem and is noncritical to Systems Management Server 2.0.
