-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Systems Management Server version 1.1 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------


SYMPTOMS
========

When you login from a Windows NT computer to a domain that is using Systems
Management Server login scripts, the client Setup fails.

CAUSE
=====

If an Windows NT workstation is also a dual boot MS-DOS computer and the path
statement in the AUTOEXEC.BAT file contains trailing spaces, the client install
will fail. This seems to only happen when using logon scripts.


STATUS
======

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