The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Systems Management Server versions 1.1, 1.2

SYMPTOMS
========
If you do not use a NetWare server as the Systems Management Server logon
server, the IPX address of a Windows client computer (using both TCP/IP and IPX
protocols) is not inventoried.
The TCP/IP address is inventoried; however, if TCP/IP is detected, the IPX
retrieval step is skipped.
NOTE: This problem does not occur with Windows NT client computers and clients
that are inventoried by a NetWare server. In both these cases, IP and IPX
addresses are retrieved successfully.
STATUS
======
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server
version 1.2. This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. Service Pack for
Microsoft Systems Management Server version 1.2. For information on obtaining
