-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
The Video Acceleration feature for Microsoft Windows 2000-based clients is not
supported in versions of Systems Management Server (SMS) 2.0 prior to Service
Pack 3 (SP3). Therefore, remotely controlling a Windows 2000-based client may be
two to six times slower than a similar Remote Control session on a Microsoft
Windows NT 4.0-based clients.
CAUSE
=====
The slow performance occurs because there is no video acceleration capability
for Windows 2000-based clients in the SMS Remote Control video drivers, which
are used to transfer the video during a Remote Control session.
The slow video performance during a Remote Control session is not an indication
of poor performance of Windows 2000.
RESOLUTION
==========
To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Systems Management
Server version 2.0. For additional information, please see the following article
