-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY
=======
When migrating Windows clients from Systems Management Server (SMS) version 1.2
to SMS version 2.0, the clients may get "Cannot reach server Error" error
messages from the Package Command Manager (PCM) and/or the Program Group Control
(PGC) that state the following:
Program Group Control is unable to connect to any servers. Your computer may
not be logged on to the network, or you may be logging in to a different
domain.
-or-
Package Command Manager is unable to connect to any servers. Your computer
may not be logged on to the network, or you may be logging in to a different
domain.
This error occurs only once during the client migration process and these
messages do not indicate if the user has ever received the warnings and selected
the "Don't display this message again" check box.
MORE INFORMATION
================
To disable the message boxes during the migration, add the following lines to
the client computers Sms.ini file under the [Local] section:
ShowPGCCantreachServersDialog=False
ShowPCMCantReachServersDialog=False
These changes are only recommended for use during an SMS 1.2 to SMS version 2.0
migration, as they are valuable for troubleshooting client issues.
