SMSINST: Cannot Remove More Than Two Sections in .ini File

• Microsoft Systems Management Server Installer versions 1.0, 2.0

SYMPTOMS

When you try to remove more than two sections from an .ini file using the Edit INI File script item, the action might fail. Despite this failure, the script successfully removes two sections from the .ini file.

WORKAROUND

Only delete up to two sections of an .ini file per Edit INI File script item in your script. Use multiple Edit INI File script items to remove more than two sections from an .ini file. For example, to delete four sections using a single script, use two instances of the on Edit INI File script items in your script. For each instance, delete no more than two sections.
