Clear Install Flag Task

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



In you SMS FAQs, says the following:

Q. Is there any type of 30-day client verify process for the Advanced
Client? (Updated March 31, 2004)
A. No. The administrator must create an advertisement with a new or updated
version of the Advanced Client files. SMS never checks or updates the
Advanced Client version automatically like a Legacy Client does. Because the
client is installed by using .msi, it can perform self-repair, like any other
..msi application can. If a hotfix is applied to an Advanced Client component,
you must apply the .MSP patch file to all Advanced Clients. You can do this
by using SMS Software Distribution.

So what does that Clear Install Flag does? Doesn't it it tries to
re-install the client upon rediscovery once the time frame defined in the
maintenance task is reached?

Thanks,
