967.0. "Clients in SMS Hierarchy" by STKAI1::SCHUSTER_P () Fri Apr 11 1997 13:32

    How do you get a Unix client to end up in the Sms hierarchy where you
    want it to be and not in some default place. If you have a large
    amount of sites you want the clients to show up at specified places in the
    hierarchy.
    
    Is this possible to set where you want the client to show up, which
    site and which domain, under the installation or after?
    
    Regards

967.1No support in PAW$EXECSUBSYS::CARLETONA paradigm shift without a clutchMon Apr 14 1997 12:0515
    There was a file, I think it was called smsls.ini that would allow you
    to assign the PC clients to other than the default domain.  I think it
    would be unlikely that using this file would help with the UNIX clients
    but you may have to try it to find out.   It's a question of where SMS
    refers to this file.  If it is used durring inventory then it will not
    help with UNIX clients.
    
    The part of PAW that assigns the domain is called PAW$EXEC. There is no 
    support in PAW$EXEC to assign other than the site server's domain.  You
    could segragate UNIX clients by using more than one site server to
    collect the inventory.  This might fall out of a configuration for free
    if you were going to set up one SMS site server per site anyway.  If
    you want to sort into more than one domain per site, you might be out
    of luck.  There may be a way to hack around it but I've been away from
    the code too long to know if it would work.

    SMSLS.INI is the way to do it for PC clients. It is read by SMSLS32.EXE
    (or SMSLS16.EXE) during logon. (Basically, you always have this problem
    if you have more than one site server per NT domain).
    
    As to PAW, no idea...
