Pre-Deployment Cleanup

In many cases, people have tried to test out SMS before making a decision to actually kick off an official project.

This type of practice tends to leave a lot of clients out in the production area which have been assigned to a test system. (BAD BAD practice - Never put tests in the production environment.)

Don't forget your friend ccmclean.exe. You can run this remotely using a variety of tools besides SMS, such as GFI Languard and VBScript.

The command you'll want to executly on the remote machines is:

ccmclean.exe /q

That will perform a quiet clean which is seamless to the end user. It does NOT require a reboot and does NOT have detrimentaly effects should it run on a machine which does not have the SMS client installed.

Run it at will.
