The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Systems Management Server version 1.2
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
When performing Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) help desk functions to
a remote Windows client, a change of help desk function (such as Remote Control
to Remote Execute) can cause the client to exit to MS-DOS without warning. An
EMM386 error can sometimes precede the exit. If this is a Windows 95 Client, the
client may hang or experience an OE Exception Error.
CAUSE
=====
The cause of the problem is specific to the following circumstances:
- A slow link, such as RAS, exists between the SMS Administrator site and the
client being managed. The lower the speed, the more likely the problem is to
occur.
- The protocol used for help desk communication is NETBT (NetBIOS over TCP/IP).
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Systems Management
Server version 1.2. This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. Service
Pack for Microsoft Systems Management Server version 1.2. For information on
