This article was previously published under Q150799
SYMPTOMS
In Systems Management Server versions 1.0 and 1.1, the Package Definition
File (PDF) parser detects only the following strings for Windows NT for the
Supported Platforms entry:
Windows NT 3.1 (x86)
Windows NT 3.1 (MIPS)
Windows NT 3.1 (Alpha)
In Systems Management Server version 1.2, the following strings can be
specified in the PDF file for Windows NT:
Windows NT 3.5 (x86)
Windows NT 3.5 (MIPS)
Windows NT 3.5 (Alpha)
Windows NT 3.51 (x86)
Windows NT 3.51 (MIPS)
Windows NT 3.51 (Alpha)
Windows NT 4.0 (x86)
Windows NT 4.0 (MIPS)
Windows NT 4.0 (Alpha)
Windows NT (x86)
Windows NT (MIPS)
Windows NT (Alpha)
The Systems Management Server Administrator UI displays only the following
generic entries:
Windows NT (x86)
Windows NT (MIPS)
Windows NT (Alpha)
CAUSE
Systems Management Server does no version checking when jobs are sent.
Although an operating system version can be specified in the PDF, when the
PDF is imported into a package, the Supported Platform selection is mapped
to the corresponding generic option.
STATUS
This is by product design.
