I have a single NT4 workstation that has the SMS 1.2 client software on it.
SMS hasn't been used in about 4 years. Apparently this one was missed when
the SMS enviornment went away. I'd like to remove it, but I can't find a
good article on how to do that. It appears there are several registry
entries, as well as the 'MS' folder that will need to be removed. Can
someone point me in the direction of some instructions or utilities to do
this?

Current enviornment is Win2K/AD with a simple .cmd script to map a couple of
drive letters. We do not have Kixtart although I could install it if needed.

Thanks.

John
