SYMPTOMS
When you install a primary site, Systems Management Server Setup limits the
length of the path for the location of the database and log devices. The
text field for the path does not scroll and the computer beeps when the
limit is reached. The total number of characters allowed for the path
depends on the width of the character used (and may be fewer than 40
characters).
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, create the database and log devices using the
Microsoft SQL Administrator utility. This method requires the user
specifies only the database device name and the log device name, rather
than the full path of the database and log devices.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in System Management Server
version 1.0. This problem was corrected in Systems Management Server
version 1.1.
