The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Systems Management Server version 2.0
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SYMPTOMS
========
An advertised package that is uninstalled on a client computer is not
re-advertised.
CAUSE
=====
This problem occurs because Systems Management Server checks the
Winnt\MS\SMS\Clicomp\Apa\Data\Complete folder to see which advertised packages
have been installed on the client. If a package appears as complete, it will not
be re-advertised to the client.
WORKAROUND
==========
The following are alternative methods you can use to readvertise a specific
program to a client or collection:
- Delete the corresponding package that is located in the
Winnt\MS\SMS\Clicomp\Apa\Data\Complete folder. CAUTION: This will remove all
installation history.
- Send a new advertisement. This must occur using a new program ID. The new
program can launch the same .exe file, but it must be a unique program with
its own ID.
- Set up the advertisement for a recurring job. CAUTION: If the original
advertisement was set to run "ASAP", this will not work. If the advertisement
was initially set to run under a schedule that is forward in time to begin
with, this will work as desired.
