SYMPTOMS
After you use the Add/Remove Programs tool to remove Microsoft Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) on a computer that is running Microsoft Systems Management Server (SMS) 2003, you notice that the SMS 2003 Advanced Client does not report to the SMS site server.



CAUSE
When you use the Add/Remove Programs tool to remove BITS, the Advanced Client is disabled.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this issue, reinstall the SMS 2003 Advanced Client. By doing this, you automatically reinstall BITS. You can reinstall the Advanced Client by using the push installation method. Or, you can manually install the Advanced Client when you connect to the SMS site server and then start the Client.msi program that is located in the \SMSClient\i386 folder.

For more information about how to install the SMS 2003 Advanced Client, see the Systems Management Server 2003 Concepts, Planning, and Deployment Guide. To do so, visit the following Microsoft Web site:
