Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance



For the 1st question, can you provide some detailed information such as what
methods you used to install the clients and how you did it? For the 2nd
question, if you go to
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sms/sms2003/techfaq/tfaq01.mspx,
the question is answered there. Hopefully you will find information provided
there is useful for your problem.

Thanks,
