SYMPTOMS
When you run MIF Entry (MIFWIN.EXE) on the client computer and use a
completely revised form (UINFO.XNF) modified on the Systems Management
Server compared with the original UINFO.XNF, the following error message
appears:
The form template file is corrupted.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, rename or delete the UINFO.SEV file located
in the \MS\SMS\NOIDMIFS directory on the client computer.
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.
MORE INFORMATION
The UINFO.XNF file is the default form used when you run MIFWIN on the
client computer. Once you enter the prompted information and save the
form, UINFO.SEV and UINFO.MIF are created and saved in the \MS\SMS\NOIDMIFS
directory on the client computer. Once the Systems Management Server sends
a package containing a new UINFO.XNF file to the client computers and you
run MIFWIN, MIFWIN checks the entry contents of the new UINFO.XNF and
UINFO.SEV.
