SUMMARY
When uninstalling Systems Management Server (SMS), Network Monitor registry entries are not removed. The location of the registry entries for Network Monitor was not created by the SMS Setup program; and therefore are not removed during an uninstall.



MORE INFORMATION
The Network Monitor registry entries were created by the operating system.

See the following entries below:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Network Monitor HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Cryptography\MachineKeys\NetMon HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\bh HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\nm HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1175585662-1823761869-378935785-500\Software\Microsoft\Network Monitor

By design, only the System Management Server components that were installed by the Setup program are removed during a uninstall.
