SYMPTOMS
When you start a Microsoft Systems Management Server shared
application, AppStart does not change the cursor to the "waiting" hourglass
cursor. This may cause the user to think the application wasn't launched.
CAUSE
AppStart isn't changing the cursor type when it is called. Because AppStart
can take up to 15-20 seconds before the actual application loads and
starts, the cursor will remain an arrow for this amount of time until the
actual application takes over and changes the cursor type.
This can result in the user thinking the application didn't launch and
attempting to launch the same application again, resulting in multiple
copies of the application being launched when AppStart finally catches up
with the user's input.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server
versions 1.0 and 1.1. We are researching this problem and will post new
information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
