As you know, an SMS 2.0 site server requires the existence of an NTFS partition that is at least 1 GB in size. This requirement extends to the main SMS directory, of course, but it also includes the client access point (CAP) and SMSLogon directories. You should invest some time in reviewing the permissions set by SMS both on the directories and on the shares SMS creates to learn why various connection accounts need to be created and how the permissions set by SMS affect the ability of these accounts to carry out a task.
SMS 2.0 Service Pack 1 makes some modifications to the permissions on the CAP directory originally set by the release to market (RTM) version of SMS 2.0. When you use SMS 2.0 with Service Pack 1 to install a new SMS site server, the new permissions will be automatically applied. However, if you apply the service pack to an existing SMS 2.0 site server, the CAP permissions are not automatically updated. Tables 16-1 through 16-5 can be used to verify the permissions on the CAP, as well as on the other SMS directories.
