WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, remove the server's machine account from the domain by using the Server Manager utility. After 7 days of not being able to contact the server, the Microsoft Windows NT Logon Server Manager component on the site server should remove all references to this computer.
In some cases, the server might retain an "SMS component server" status even though there are no site system components assigned to it. If this occurs, you may delete the server from the Site Systems folder under Site Settings in the SMS Administrator tool.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article. This problem was first corrected in Systems Management Server 2.0 Service Pack 3.
