SMS: Distributing SMS Network Monitor (238919)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Systems Management Server 2.0 SP1
This article was previously published under Q238919

SYMPTOMS

To distribute the Network Monitor tool included with Systems Management Server (SMS) 2.0 Service Pack 1 (SP1), the package must have a folder structure that is similar to that of the SMS 2.0 SP1 image. If it does not, the following error message occurs during installation:
Unable to find file License.txt under Package_folder\..\..\Smssetup

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because there is a hard-coded dependency on the folder structure within the Network Monitor Setup.exe program.

RESOLUTION

There are two ways to overcome this issue:
  • Use the entire SMS source image as the source folder so that the original folder and file structure is maintained.
  • Structure your package source similarly to that of the SMS source image, but reduce the size of the package by only including the minimal folder structure and files. The \Nmext and \Smssetup folder structures must be in place, and Setup.exe must be run from the Nmext\Platform folder. However, the Smssetup folder needs to contain only the License.txt file and no other files or folders.
