SYMPTOMS
========
If the Systems Management Server client software is installed on a Windows NT
client computer at the same time that Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.01 setup is
performing its one-time per user configuration, SMSRUN32 may stop responding
with CPU usage greater than 90 percent.
Furthermore, if you use Windows NT Task Manager to list the running processes,
two instances of SMSRUN32 will appear.
RESOLUTION
==========
A supported fix is now available from Microsoft, but it is only intended to

STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server
version 1.2.
MORE INFORMATION
================
To install the hotfix, perform the following steps on the Systems Management
Server site server:
1. In the
<SMS_root_directory>\Site.srv\Maincfg.box\Client.src\<platform>.bin
directory on the site server, replace the Smsrun32.exe file with the version
obtained from the hotfix.
2. In the
<SMS_root_directory>\Site.srv\Maincfg.box\Client.src\<platform>.bin
directory on the site server, replace the Smssrv32.exe file with the version
obtained from the hotfix.
NOTE: These steps can be performed automatically by using Hotfix.exe with the
supplied Hotfix.ini file.
At the next Maintenance Manager work cycle, the files will be replicated to all
Systems Management Server logon servers, to the
<SMS_root_directory>\Logon.srv\<platform>.bin directory. When that
occurs, new clients will get the new Smsrun32.exe and the existing clients can
be updated.
To update the existing clients, either manually run Upgrade.bat on each client or
follow the instructions in the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge
Base:
