SYMPTOMS
When an SMS site is uninstalled where the SMS Provider was installed on a remote SQL server, the SMSProvider_Sitecode account (the SMS Remote Provider connection account) may remain, and may not be deleted.



WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, manually remove the SMSProvider_Sitecode account from the remote SQL server after the SMS site server is uninstalled.



MORE INFORMATION
The SMSProvider_ code account is the SMS Provider Impersonation account. This account is created automatically when SQL is not installed on the site server and the SMS Provider resides on the SQL server. This account and its password are automatically generated during Setup and they are also reset during a site reset. This account is used by the SMS provider to gain network access to site server resources.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 2.0.
