SYMPTOMS
========
With Systems Management Server (SMS) 2.0 Network Discovery and the Microsoft
Windows NT Remote Client Installation method enabled, the following information
may be recorded in the Client Configuration Manager (CCM) log file (Ccm.log)
when a SAMBA server is discovered (if logging is enabled on the site server).
Note that "SPARC" is the name of the SAMBA server in the following sample log
file:

CAUSE
=====
The Data Discovery Record (DDR) that is generated for the SAMBA server (that is
emulating a Windows NT-based server) may indicate that it is discovered as a
Windows NT-based computer. Consequently, a Client Configuration Request (CCR)
may be generated to install the SMS client.
CCM may then attempt to install the SMS client on the SAMBA server, not succeed,
and go into a retry mode. For each unsuccessful attempt, an error status message
is recorded for the CCM component in addition to the log entries listed above.
WORKAROUND
==========
To work around this behavior, use the ExcludeServers registry entry on the site
server and add the name of the SAMBA server. No CCR is then generated to install
the SMS client on that server.
For additional information about the ExcludeServers registry entry, see the
following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
