DOCUMENT:Q147793 27-JUL-2001 [sms] TITLE :Specifying User Logon Servers PRODUCT :Microsoft Systems Management Server PROD/VER:winnt:1.0,1.1,1.2 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbenv SMSINFO kbArtTypeINF ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Systems Management Server versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY ======= It may be beneficial for you to specify which Microsoft Systems Management Server Windows NT Server logon server a Systems Management Server client user logs on to. This is especially true when domain controllers for the same domain span multiple Systems Management Server sites. The ability to specify logon servers ensures that inventory shows up in the proper site databases. This can be accomplished by substituting a specified logon server (or servers) for the domain entry in the [workgroup] section of the Smsls.ini file (located in the Sms\Site.srv\Maincfg.box directory of the site server). MORE INFORMATION ================ A sample [workgroup] section specifying that all users in WorkgroupA use logon server ServerA or ServerB, and that users in WorkgroupB use the logon server ServerC would look like this: [workgroup] WorkgroupA=\\ServerA WorkgroupA=\\ServerB WorkgroupB=\\ServerC For related information about mapping clients in Smsls.ini, see page 92 of the "Microsoft Systems Management Server Administrator's Guide."
