SYMPTOMS
If you are using Systems Management Server version 1.1, the error "Couldn't
create a new package" occurs when you attempt to create any package in the
Systems Management Server Administrator program.
CAUSE
This problem occurs on computers running Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0
that are also running Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.1. In addition,
other strange problems or errors may occur if Systems Management Server is
running under this configuration.
Because Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 was released after Microsoft
Systems Management Server 1.1 had been released, Microsoft Systems
Management Server 1.1 has not been tested to run under Microsoft Windows NT
Server 4.0. Running Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.1 on computers
running Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 is not supported by Microsoft
Technical Support.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, do either of the following:
- Upgrade Microsoft Systems Management Server to version 1.2.
-or-
- Install and administer Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.1 on a
computer running Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.51 with the latest
Windows NT Server service pack.
