-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
New client installations are not successful when you use Logon Installation or
Windows NT Remote Client installation. If you review the Wnmanual.log,
Wn_logon.log, or Wn_remote.log in the %SystemRoot%\MS\SMS\Logs folder, the
following error message is logged:
Client deinstall flag set - no new assignments will be processed.
CAUSE
=====
This behavior occurs because the client computer has the following registry key
value that prevents SMS from installing SMS Client components:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\SMS\Client\Configuration\Client
Properties\SMS Client Deinstall=True
WORKAROUND
==========
To work around this behavior:
1. Run the 20clicln.bat file to remove SMS Client components and registry keys.
2. Run either the Smsman.exe or Smsls.bat program, or if you are using Windows
NT Remote Client installation, allow any pending Client Configuration
Requests (CCR) to retry. Pending requests are located in the
\SMS\inboxes\ccrretry.box folder on the site server.
