SYMPTOMS

When you run the SMS Admin UI on a Windows NT 4.0 computer, queries are not built. The Operator drop down list box is empty.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because the operator string in queries is localized. Therefore, without the localized DLL file, you cannot create a new query.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, run the SMS Admin UI from the MS-DOS Command Prompt.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 1.1 and Windows NT 4.0. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
