The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Systems Management Server versions 1.0, 1.1, and 1.2

SUMMARY

It may be desirable to specify which Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) Windows NT logon server an SMS client user logs on to, especially when domain controllers for the same domain span multiple SMS sites. The ability to specify logon servers ensures that inventory shows up in the proper site databases. This can be accomplished by substituting a specified logon server (or servers) for the domain entry in the (workgroup) section of the Smsls.ini file (located in the Sms\site.srv\maincfg.box directory of the site server).

MORE INFORMATION

A sample (workgroup) section specifying that all users in "WorkgroupA" use logon server "ServerA" or "ServerB," and that users in "WorkgroupB" use the logon server "ServerC" would look like this:

   [workgroup]
   WorkgroupA=ServerA
   WorkgroupA=ServerB
   WorkgroupB=ServerC

For related information about mapping clients in Smsls.ini, see p. 92 of the SMS "Administrator's Guide."
