SMS: Remote Control Agent Installed Regardless of Site Settings

• Microsoft Systems Management Server version 1.2

SYMPTOMS

The option to install Systems Management Server Remote Control on clients on a site-wide basis can be configured by using the Site Properties in the Systems Management Server Administrator program.

In environments where customers do not want to use the Systems Management Server Remote Control software, the option for installing it can be canceled by clearing the check box.

However, after applying Systems Management Server Service Pack 3 (SP3), the Remote Control client software will be installed on all Windows NT clients, even if the option is not selected in the site's properties.
