SYMPTOMS
========
When you upgrade a Systems Management Server (SMS) 2.0 Service Pack 1 site
server to Service Pack 2, the upgrade process may stop responding (hang).
CAUSE
=====
This behavior occurs when a site system running as a Software Metering server
cannot be stopped remotely.
WORKAROUND
==========
To work around this behavior, stop the SMS_License_Server service on site
systems that are acting as Software Metering servers, or remove the Software
Metering role from site systems before you run the Service Pack 2 upgrade.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server
version 2.0.
