SYMPTOMS
The Create Outgoing Parcel function in Courier Sender is only available when running it locally from the Systems Management Server 2.0 site server. A Courier Sender icon is present on remote computers running the Systems Management Server 2.0 Administrator Console and will run, but it gives the following message when the Create Outgoing Parcel item is selected:
The SMS registry indicates no outbox for the sender to scan.
Be sure that you are running this application on an SMS Site Server and that at least one site is defined to use the Courier Sender.
WORKAROUND
To use the Create Outgoing Parcel in Courier Sender, you must be running it local to the Systems Management Server 2.0 site server. A possible workaround to this is to Remote Control the Systems Management Server 2.0 site server from the remote Administrator Console and run the Courier Sender in this way.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 2.0.
