I don't what a "lonnie" script is? I think you mean logon script. You can REM or remove the line SMSLS.BAT in your logon script. So, edit your logon script, and remove the call to SMSLS.bat. That should do it. Joseph L. Poandl

JpoandI, thanks for that and sorry about the lonnie script thing.

The only line in my login script referring to sms is "call %\..\smsls" which I have remove will this solve my problem.

Plus what about the file sms server has install on my win95/98 clients how can I remove these? is it possible during user logon?

Thanks fo any help

What script do your clients run when the login? You can see this if you look at the users profile. There will be a script listed in thier profile. (Something like logon.bat or smsls.bat..or something else.) I wouldn't edit the smsls.bat itself. But just rem out the call to SMSLS.bat.

That will make it so the clients do not run the SMS logon script.

"Plus what about the file sms server has install on my win95/98 clients how can I remove these? is it possible during user logon?" WHAT? I don't know what you are saying here. I think you want to know how to uninstall the SMS client? But I'm not sure. (20clicn.bat will remove client...I don't know if this can be done through logon script.but it probably can for 9x clients.) Joseph L. Poandl

JpoandI, I have edited the user login.bat file and removed the below text:

REM Microsoft Systems Management Server (start)
REM SMS Build 1493
call %0\..\smsls
REM Microsoft Systems Management Server (end)

as I believed the line "call %0\..\smsls" was installing sms client during user logon. If I'm wrong please let me know?

You are correct in your assumption of my second question about client removal through login.bat scripts (I type and do check my grammar sorry).

Are you sure 20clicn.bat is the correct name for the removal bat file. The only file I can find anything about in TechNet is 20clicln.bat not 20clicn.bat.

Also could you tell me where to locate the removal .bat file, as I can't find it on the SMS server or the SMS installation CD?

Thanks for all the help

(I just didn't want to give you wrong information...everyone make typeing mistakes.)

20clicln.bat is the correct file.

It is on the Server Resource Kit 4.5. (This needs to be bought if you don't already have it.)


If you don't have the resource kit, you can try to install the SMS support tools (this is on the SMS CD-ROM). I think it also has the clicln.bat. Or, you can try this utility:

Or check out this utility for removing the client:

Its a really good site that relates to SMS and other MS products..)


I hope this helps...as you can see there are many ways to remove the client. I use the clicln.bat...it works for me. Joseph L. Poandl
