Article ID: 891357 - Last Review: October 27, 2006 - Revision: 1.2 "The data area passed to a system call is too small" error message when you try to specify network or storage drivers for Windows PE in SMS 2003SYMPTOMSIn Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) 2003, when you try to specify network or storage
drivers for the Microsoft Windows Preinstallation Environment (Windows PE) in the Properties dialog box of an
operating system deployment package, you may receive an error message
that is similar to the following: The data area passed to a system call is too
small. CAUSEThis problem may occur when the full path of the driver file is longer than SMS 2003 can handle. WORKAROUNDTo work around this problem, use a shorter file name for
the file, or move the file so that its full path is shorter. MORE INFORMATIONThis problem may also occur when you create the operating system deployment package, and you set the path of the package
source.
