SMS: Restoring SMS Services to the Registry

• Microsoft Systems Management Server versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.2

SUMMARY

If for any reason you find that the Systems Management Server registry entries have been removed from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services, and there are no backups in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet00x\Services and you have not taken backups of these registry keys, you can still restore them using INSTSRV.

MORE INFORMATION

INSTSRV is a utility contained on the Systems Management Server compact disc in the Debug\X86.bin directory. To begin the service re-creation, perform the steps below.

1. Copy INSTSRV from the compact disc to the \Sms\Site.Srv\x86.bin directory.



2. Open a command prompt window.



3. Run INSTSRV (it is an MS-DOS Menu tool).



4. Select '1. Install'.



5. Enter the service name 'SMS_SITE_CONFIG_MANAGER'.



6. Enter the domain name\account name to start the service (for example, thekop\smsadmin).



7. Type the password for the user.
   
   NOTE: The password will be displayed on the screen.



8. Enter the Systems Management Server site server name (for example, \\BOOTROOM).



9. Enter the path to the service:

   c:\Sms\Site.Srv\X86.Bin\Siteins.exe




10. Autostart the service during startup - 'Y'.



11. Restart the server, or go to Control Panel Services and restart the service.



12. Site Configuration Manager should re-create the remaining Systems Management Server services in the registry (SMS_HEIRACHY_MANAGER, SMS_EXECUTIVE, SMS_INVENTORY_AGENT, and SMS_PACKAGE_COMMAND_MANAGER).



13. After you have your services restored, go into the Registry Editor REGEDT32 and make backups of each of these keys by saving them to a file.
