SYMPTOMS
After running a package from Package Command Manager (PCMWIN16.EXE), the
client leaves a drive mapped to the Novell NetWare distribution server.
If the servers have limited licenses, this may cause a problem where all
the connections to the server are being used, and some clients will be
unable to make a connection to the server.
This problem only occurs when the client does not already have an
existing connection to the distribution server that provides the
package.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, manually delete the mapped drive used by the
Package Command Manager.
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. For information on
