SYMPTOMS
You may be able to view Package Command Manager (PCM) client instruction files that are located on the site and the logon servers that contain references to packages that have been deleted.



CAUSE
This issue can occur if you deleted the packages manually instead of using a Remove package from server job to remove the packages. In addition, the Run Command job that sends the packages may have been deleted without being cancelled first.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, delete the client's PCM instruction file from the following locations:
 * On the site server: \SMS\Site.Srv\Maincfg.box\PCMDom.Box\.
 * On each Systems Management Server (SMS) logon server: \SMS\Logon.srv\PCMIns.Box

NOTE: The .ins files must be deleted from each logon server because the Maintenance Manager service does not delete these files.

IMPORTANT: When you follow this procedure, any existing package instructions are lost. Any packages that you want to run on the client must be sent with new jobs.



MORE INFORMATION
You can use the method in the preceding section to prevent a client from deploying a package that it was not supposed to receive.
