Deinstal.bat Does Not Always Set Setup Phase to Deinstal (153303)

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.0
Microsoft Systems Management Server 1.1

This article was previously published under Q153303

SYMPTOMS

Deinstal.bat does not always set SetupPhase to "deinstal" in the Sms.ini.

The deinstal command window shows:

   Running cli_nt  /r
   The name is not recognized as a command
   Phase 1 of client deinstal is complete

The Sms.ini file shows that SetupPhase is still "installed" instead of being changed to "deinstal."

MORE INFORMATION

This seems to occur only when you map a drive (for example, F) to \\servername\sms_shr, then type f:\deinstal. The problem does not occur if you first switch to the drive and run "deinstal".

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 1.1. This problem has been corrected in Systems Management Server version 1.2.
