SYMPTOMS
The option to install Systems Management Server Remote Control on clients on a site-wide basis can be configured by using the Site Properties in the Systems Management Server Administrator program.

In environments where customers do not want to use the Systems Management Server Remote Control software, the option for installing it can be canceled by clearing the check box.

However, after applying Systems Management Server Service Pack 3 (SP3), the Remote Control client software will be installed on all Windows NT clients, even if the option is not selected in the site's properties.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 1.2. This problem has been corrected in the latest U.S. service pack for Systems Management Server version 1.2. For information on obtaining the service pack, query on the following word in the Microsoft Knowledge Base (without the spaces):   S E R V P A C K
