System Management Server Setup Limits Path of Devices

Last reviewed: April 23, 1997
Article ID: Q130540

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Systems Management Server version 1.0

SYMPTOMS

When you install a primary site, Systems Management Server Setup limits the length of the path for the location of the database and log devices. The text field for the path does not scroll and the computer beeps when the limit is reached. The total number of characters allowed for the path depends on the width of the character used (and may be fewer than 40 characters).

WORKAROUND

To work around this problem, create the database and log devices using the Microsoft SQL Administrator utility. This method requires the user specifies only the database device name and the log device name, rather than the full path of the database and log devices.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in System Management Server version 1.0. This problem was corrected in Systems Management Server version 1.1.
