DOCUMENT:Q280518 02-JAN-2001 [sms] TITLE :SMS: Client Installation Process Stops Responding PRODUCT :Microsoft Systems Management Server PROD/VER::2.0 OPER/SYS: KEYWORDS:kbnetwork kbClient kbConfig kbSecurity kbsms200 kbsms200bug ====================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The information in this article applies to: - Microsoft Systems Management Server version 2.0 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SYMPTOMS ======== In a network that has a large number of domains, Microsoft Windows 95- and Windows 98-based client computers may not install the SMS client software. The client installation process may stop responding before the core components are installed. CAUSE ===== This issue can occur when more than 32 client connection accounts have been defined for the installation of the client software. WORKAROUND ========== To work around this issue, reduce the number of client connection accounts. To do this, create only a few accounts in the master domain and add them to any resource domains where the clients reside.
