If software distribution does not work correctly on the damaged SMS 2003 Advanced Client, you can remotely remove the damaged Advanced Client. To do this, use one of the following tools to remotely run the Ccmclean.exe program:  The Remote Command Service (Rcmd.exe) program. For more information, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

151519 Resource Kit utility provides remote command execution

</li> A third-party program, such as the PsExec program. The PSExec program is included in the PsTools suite from Sysinternals. For more information about the PsExec program, visit the following Sysinternals Web site:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/default.mspx

</li></ul>

Ccmclean.exe is a component of the SMS 2003 Toolkit 2. For more information about the SMS 2003 Toolkit 2, visit the following Microsoft Web site:

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sms/bb676787.aspx

To use the PsExec program and the Ccmclean.exe program to remotely remove the Advanced Client, follow these steps.

Note You must have administrator permissions on the Advanced Client.

Warning If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk. <ol> Download the PsExec program from the Sysinternal Web site.</li> Click Start, click Run, type notepad, and then click OK.</li> Paste the following text into Notepad:

<pre class="fixed_text">Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS]

</li> Click File, and then click Save.</li> In the File name text box, type removeSMSkeys.reg, and then click Save. We recommend that you save this file in a temporary shared folder on your network. Make sure that the Advanced Client can access the folder.</li> Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then click OK.</li> Type psexec \\ -c c:\ \ccmclean.exe /q, where   is the computer name of the Advanced Client and   is the folder where Ccmclean.exe is located. This command copies Ccmclean.exe to the Advanced Client and then runs Ccmclean.exe in quiet mode.</li> Type psexec \\ regedit.exe /s <\\ \removeSMSkeys.reg, where   is the computer name of the Advanced Client and   is the shared network folder that contains the .reg file that you created in steps 2 through 5. This command remotely runs the .reg file. The .reg file removes the SMS keys.

Warning Do not run this command on any SMS site servers. If you run this command on an SMS site server, you will damage the site server.</li></ol>
