Bad boy Warrior Posted July 17, 2005 Author Share Posted July 17, 2005 Sorry yet another update -I worked out how to remove SMS from client PCs (use SMS Toolkit 2 then run ccmclean) i then used the client.msi file which was a advanced client utility (\\Server\C$\SMS\Client\i386) and that installed without any problems. and tested to see if it connected to the site (and eventually it did)Now the new problme here is when i clicked remote control (in control panel) then show status it says:"Cannot display current remote control status. The remote control agent service is not started"looked at MS KB http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=883983did what it asked and still have the same problem (only performed the actions on the server)anyone else got any other ideas?thx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_flames Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 I did some lab testing before for SMS 2003. I not sure if it is the same with SMS 2.0 but you could only do remote control from the SMS Server and not from the client end. I would just like to ask, when you clicked on the "Remote Control" icon on the control panel, did it open a options dialogue box where you could change the settings of your remote?

I found the problem to be not having BITS installed on the server as soon as that was installed i repaired the installation (using systems management in control panel on a client) and that resolved it.
