    SMS site removal

    Actually, the SMS client will automatically de-install (mostly, not completely) after not being able to contact a CAP for 60 days. If you're going to do a wipe and reload of the workstations in a few weeks anyway then your real concern is the lingering stuff on the domain controllers. In...

    SMS query the registry

    SMS does not have a built-in routine to read a give registry entry, but you could use a vbs or sms installer script to read the value and return it as a mif or write directly to a file share somewhere. Below is some vbs to read registry entries and to write a mif. I didn't include any error...

    distribute software

    SMS has its own check for completed advertisements (if the ad has already run, don't re-run it) but SMS by itself does not check to see if the application is already installed. What you could do is to write a pre-install check into your installer to look for a file name or registry entry or...

    SMS Services on local PC

    Clients properly loaded and assigned to a site should have all and only the components configured for the site. If you turn on Remote Control at the site, all clients should get it. If you turn it off, all clients should remove it. There is a lag since the clients know to take such action only...

    File location

    The path is not gathered during software inventory. You would need to write a script to pull the path (e.g. from WMI CIM_Datafile) and advertise it to the clients with a .pst, then return this as a MIF or have the script write the results to a network share file or database.

    deinstalling sms client

    In the source folder where you found 20clicln.bat you should also find hammer.exe. Run that program and watch task manager until you see hammer leave the listing. Reboot. That should take care of everything. But if it doesn't ... use zap.exe (in the same folder as hammer) to remove the blank...

    SMS Client connectivity

    In the normal course of action, if an SMS server goes offline or the client cannot contact the server for whatever reason, the SMS client does not cause any alerts or problems. It just goes on its merry way, checking back for a network connection and for its server every hour or so. Software and...

    Here is a quick overview. I'm not sure if your meaning of ProductID above is the same as what I've mentioned below. SMS 2.0 software inventory collects information on files with extensions defined for the software inventory client (exe, mdf, vbs, etc.) The information collected results in...
