SYMPTOMS
========

When you run Systems Management Server Executive service (Smsexec.exe) a Dr.
Watson occurs on the primary site server during a package distribution, if a
NetWare logon and/or distribution server has insufficient disk space to receive
the package.

The Systems Management Server site server Event Log will log Event ID 109:

     Component = SMS_Despooler
     Operation = Install
     Object = Package
     Error Code = 1
     Note: Failed to install package. There isn't sufficient disk space
     available on that server. Disk space available on that server is Y
     megabytes, space required is Z megabytes.

WORKAROUND
==========

To prevent the error from occurring, you must make sufficient space available on
each target NetWare server. Sufficient disk space is required for the package to
be successfully distributed.

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server
version 1.2. We are researching this problem and will post new information in
the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
