I've installed the evaluation copy of SMS 2003 on a
Windows 2000 server running SQL 2000. This is the only
SMS server I have. I've been able to discover clients
using the AD Systems discovery but when I attempt to
install Advanced Client I get an many errors, but the one
that I think is most important says No MP Shares. From
what I understand this is because a Management Point
wasn't installed. Not sure how to do that though. I've
looked through the documentation somewhat but I haven't
had much luck finding what I think I need.

What am I missing here? When I go into Site Database--
>Site Hierarchy-->Server-->Site Settings-->Component
Configuation-->Management Point properties the Default
Management Point is set to none. If I attempt to select
Management Point, the drop down box is empty. I assumed
it should have the name of my SMS server in there.

Thanks ahead of time of any assistance.

Todd
