SYMPTOMS
When you use Systems Management Server Setup to deinstall the SMS Administrator from a computer running Windows NT Workstation version 3.1 or 3.5, Setup fails to remove two .TMP files in the root directory. The two files are:     Name        Size _@x.TMP   1,241,520 _@x.TMP     219,136 NOTE: x represents the increment of temp files created.



CAUSE
These files are not deleted because they are not noted in the following registry location:   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \System\CurrentControlSet\Control\SessionManager\FileRenameOperations This registry entry is blank after the deinstall completes. Windows NT looks in this location for filenames to be deleted upon system startup. Because there were no entries present, no files were deleted.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, manually delete the files.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 1.0. This problem has been corrected in Systems Management Server version 1.2.
