Re: Removing a DP

Hi Terry,

Thank you for the update. From your information, I found that this DP is
also the site server. In addition, you create another server share on that.

So, we need to refer to the following steps to remove the DP role from this
computer.

1. Remove the checkbox to be a DP.

2. Delete the server share \\FATNET\SMSPKGE$ in the SMS Admin console.

3. Change the DP info of the packages.

4. Delete the shared folder that contains the packages manually.

5. Delete the IIS DP info manually.

By default, the SMS system will not remove the above things automatically.
It only update the info to the site server.

Hope this helps! If you have further concern, feel free to let me know.
Have a great day!

Sincerely,
Jack Wang, MCSE 2000/2003, MCSA 2000/2003, MCDBA, MCSD
