Issue
On x64 systems (Win Vista or 7) it has been noted that the following items may not work properly
- Some Elevation requests may not function properly
- The System may have a delayed shutdown
Resolution
On the system where these issues were noted, the SMP agent was found to be the x86 (32-bit agent). This is noted by the fact that it is installed in the \Program Files (x86) directory.
- To resolve the issue, the 32-bit SMP agent was uninstalled and the 64-bit agent was installed.
- Generally the 32-bit agent can be uninstalled using AexAgentUtils.exe /clean or Add/Remove Programs and then the current AeXNSC.exe agent installation file is run.
- The current SMP agent installation file contains both the X86 and the X64 versions of the agent and will install the proper version automatically.
