Console snap-in, the Values list may not appear in a sorted alpha-numeric order,

records are listed.

SMS 2.0 Service Pack 1:
The English-language version of this fix that can be applied to a site or
administrator console running SMS 2.0 Service Pack 1 should have the following
file attributes:
Date Time Version Size File name Platform
------------------------------------------------------------------
3/29/2000 20:00:46 2.00.1380.1147 534,528 Mmcbasui.dll Intel
3/29/2000 20:00:46 2.00.1380.1147 997,888 Mmcbasui.dll Alpha
SMS 2.0 Service Pack 2:
The English-language version of this fix that can be applied to a site or
administrator console running SMS 2.0 Service Pack 2 should have the following
file attributes:
Date Time Version Size File name Platform
-------------------------------------------------------------------
6/10/2000 3:55:00 2.00.1493.2112 534,528 Mmcbasui.dll Intel
6/10/2000 3:55:00 2.0.1493.2112 998,672 Mmcbasui.dll Alpha
NOTE: Due to file dependencies, the most recent hotfix or feature that contains
the above files may also contain additional files.
To override the 2000 value limit, the fix uses a new registry value:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/SMS/AdminUI/QueryBuilder/ValueLimit
The ValueLimit value is a DWORD value. If it does not exist, the default limit of
2000 is used; this is consistent with current functionality. If it has a zero
value, there is no value limitation and all possible values are returned.
When you add the key, do not enter anything for Class (leave it blank). Name the
key QueryBuilder, click OK, add a new REG_DWORD value named ValueLimit, and then
click OK. When you are prompted to provide a value, type 0 as the value.
