SYMPTOMS

Page 272 of the Systems Management Server Administrator's Guide specifies that the format for remote SNMP input configuration file should begin with "#pragma". However, the application that reads this file, Eventcmi.exe, incorrectly requires "#Pragma" with a capital letter P.

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, modify the .cnf file to use "#Pragma" instead of "#pragma". You can use a word processing application such as Microsoft Word to easily replace all instances of "#pragma" with "#Pragma".

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 1.2. This problem was corrected in the latest Microsoft Systems Management Server version 1.2 U.S. Service Pack.
