SYMPTOMS
Removing site boundaries from a site without disabling the Modify User Logon Scripts setting at the site does not ensure that all Systems Management Server (SMS) 2.0 files are removed from the clients. The client is uninstalled from the site, but retains some common base SMS client files if it logs on to the network after being uninstalled.
CAUSE
SMS uninstalls the client components when site boundaries are removed. However, because the the Modify User Logon Scripts setting is still enabled for Windows Networking Logon Client Installation or Windows Networking Logon Discovery, the client runs the SMS logon script the next time a user logs on. Therefore, the client receives some of the base component files to assess site assignment. Because there are no boundaries for the site, however, the assignment does not succeed. This leaves behind the common files that were copied to the client.
WORKAROUND
Disable the Modify User Logon Scripts setting in Windows Networking Logon Client Installation or Windows Networking Logon Discovery before you remove site boundaries, or wait until all users have logged on to the network before removing the site boundaries.
If the files exist on a client workstation after you have removed the site boundaries and did not disable the Modify User Logon Scripts option, remove the files manually by running Cliunins.exe or 20clicln.bat, or reassign the client to another site and then uninstall it by running smsman /u from the Smslogon\X86.bin\00000409 folder.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 2.0.
