The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.1
  • Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.2
This article was previously published under Q149287

SUMMARY

When you upgrade an existing Systems Management Server site server by running setup from the Systems Management Server compact disc, the "Systems Management Server" program group will be deleted and recreated by the Setup program.

MORE INFORMATION

In order to upgrade a primary site server, Setup.bat must be executed from the SMSSETUP directory on the Systems Management Server compact disc. Next choose "Upgrade Site" from the setup menu that is presented.

At the end of the upgrade process, the existing "Systems Management Server" common program group will be deleted and then recreated with all of the standard icons. Any additional icons, like the Crystal Reports icons or other custom icons, will be deleted.

To avoid losing custom icons and those created by installing Crystal Reports, rename the "Systems Management Server" group prior to performing the upgrade.

NOTE: Applying a Systems Management Server service pack does not affect the program group in any way.
