TITLE   :SMS: Secondary Site Wizard Corrupts Files on Primary Site Server
PRODUCT :Microsoft Systems Management Server
PROD/VER:winnt:2.0,2.0 SP1,2.0 SP2
OPER/SYS:
KEYWORDS:kbsms200 kbsms200bug

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

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

SYMPTOMS
========

In Systems Management Server, when you use the SMS Administrator Console
Secondary Site Wizard to create a secondary site, and you type the NetBIOS name
of the primary site server as the name of the secondary site server, several
services or files from the primary site server may removed, copied over, or
corrupted.

CAUSE
=====

This behavior can occur because the Secondary Site Wizard does not check to
ensure that the secondary site server name you entered is not an existing
primary site server.

WORKAROUND
==========

To work around this behavior, verify that the secondary site server name you
provide the wizard is not the name of an existing primary site server.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server
version 2.0.
