SYMPTOMS
========
When you use the Systems Management Server Tracer tool to view log files for a
specific Systems Management Server service, the service you are viewing may stop
responding if logging is enabled.
CAUSE
=====
The Tracer tool may cause a sharing violation error message when the service you
are viewing attempts to open the log to insert additional entries. The service
then enters a retry loop waiting to gain access to the log file, which
effectively disables the service.
WORKAROUND
==========
To work around this behavior, use an alternative tool to view the log files.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server
version 2.0.
