SYMPTOMS

Systems Management Server fails to install as a Central, Primary or Secondary Site and as Logon or Helper Servers on Windows NT 3.1 or Windows NT 3.5 (without SP2 or greater).

CAUSE

Systems Management Server version 1.0 and 1.1 can only be installed on a server running Windows NT 3.5 Service Pack 2 (build 807) or higher.

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 as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

When adding a logon or distribution server (that is not build 807 or greater) SMS will fail to set up the directories or install the SMS services on the server but SMS Administrator will show that the logon server has been setup and will not log any errors.
