SYMPTOMS
When the administrator runs the command
rservice.exe /CHANGE
the service account fails to change and you receive an Error 122.
For example, you type the following command at an MS-DOS prompt:
c:> rservice /CHANGE fm.ini /c
RemoteService v2.0 for Windows NT
Microsoft Systems Management Server Utility
You enter the service account password and receive the following message:
Changing service SMS_PACKAGE_COMMAND_MANAGER_NT account
or password on MFRANCK...
Cannot change the service account or password of service
SMS_PACKAGE_COMMAND_MANAGER_NT on MFRANCK!
[Error 122. The data area passed to a system call is too small.]

FM.INI

DFRANCK=listed
[machine list]
MFRANCK=include
[service account]
*=DFRANCK\SMSService
[service name]
