SYMPTOMS

After applying Systems Management Server 1.2 Service Pack 3, a site may experience problems with logon servers running Windows NT 4.0 that are being enumerated by site servers running Windows NT 3.51 Service Pack 5. The problem is that the Systems Management Server logon servers are not being updated.

CAUSE

The problem is caused by the way that Windows NT Server 3.51 queries the disk space on servers running Windows NT Server 4.0.
