The information in this article applies to:
 
- Microsoft Systems Management Server version 1.1

SYMPTOMS
========
 
On a Windows 3.x/Netware client computer, if NETWARE.DRV and VNETWARE.386
are referred to with a full path in the SYSTEM.INI, SMSRUN16 fails to
create the Systems Management Server Client Group during installation.
 
WORKAROUND
==========
 
There are two ways to work around this problem:
 
 - Place the NETWARE.DRV and VNETWARE.386 in the \Windows\System directory
   and remove the path information from the "network.drv=" and "network="
   lines in the SYSTEM.INI
 
   -or-
 
 - Keep the NETWARE.DRV and VNETWARE.386 in the NWCLIENT directory. Add the
   NWCLIENT Directory to the path in AUTOEXEC.BAT. Then remove the path
   information from the "netware.drv=" and "network=" lines in SYSTEM.INI.
 
STATUS
======
 
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Systems
Management Server version 1.1. We are researching this problem and will
post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes
available.
