SUMMARY
This article explains how a Systems Management Server administrator can remove Systems Management Server clients from a Systems Management Server site.



MORE INFORMATION
To remove a Systems Management Server client, run the appropriate Client Setup application with the /R switch. This is documented in Appendix B of the Systems Mangement Server Administrator's Guide. You must run Client Setup twice because it has to stop all Systems Management Server components before the files can be removed. You can do this by running Smsls.bat from the logon script or command prompt, or by running Client Setup directly from the proper ..\SMS_SHR\ .Bin directory for the Systems Management Server client platform.

You can also run DEINSTAL from the Systems Management Server logon server SMS_SHR share. All site SMS logon servers have Deinstal.bat and Deinstal.cmd files in the SMS_SHR share. These files, when run from a Systems Management Server client, determine the operating system that is being used and run the correct version of Client Setup with the /R switch (for example, CLI_NT /R). This configures the client to remove itself from the Systems Management Server site the next time Client Setup is run.
