SYMPTOMS
In System Management Server 2.0, the Site Component Manager service
(similar to the Site Configuration Manager service in System Management
Server 1.2) is responsible for installing and removing services and thread
components at a Systems Management Server site. By default, the Systems
Management Server site and SMS database server are Component servers.
However, there may be cases where the Site Component Manager service fails
to install theses components.
You may see the following error message in the Sitecomp.log file on the
site server:
Polling multisite component server NCSMSSQL65..
Installing server...
Server's platform type is X86.
Server is running Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 Service Pack 1.
This version of SMS cannot be installed on machines running this
operating system.
Server installation failed and will be retried in the next polling
cycle.
CAUSE
This error message can appear in the Sitecomp.log file if the Systems
Management Server site server computer has Windows NT Server 4.0 Service
Pack 3 applied, but the computer storing the SMS database does not.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, make sure the computer that is storing the SMS
database has Windows NT Server 4.0 Service Pack 3 applied.
