SUMMARY

If for any reason you find that the Systems Management Server registry entries have been removed from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services, and there are no backups in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet00x\Services and you have not taken backups of these registry keys, you can still restore them using INSTSRV.

MORE INFORMATION

INSTSRV is a utility contained on the Systems Management Server compact disc in the Debug\X86.bin directory. To begin the service re-creation, perform the steps below.
  1. Copy INSTSRV from the compact disc to the \Sms\Site.Srv\x86.bin directory.
  2. Open a command prompt window.
  3. Run INSTSRV (it is an MS-DOS Menu tool).
  4. Select '1. Install'.
  5. Enter the service name 'SMS_SITE_CONFIG_MANAGER'.
  6. Enter the domain name\account name to start the service (for example, thekop\smsadmin).
  7. Type the password for the user.

    NOTE: The password will be displayed on the screen.
  8. Enter the Systems Management Server site server name (for example, \\BOOTROOM).
  9. Enter the path to the service:

    c:\Sms\Site.Srv\X86.Bin\Siteins.exe

  10. Autostart the service during startup - 'Y'.
  11. Restart the server, or go to Control Panel Services and restart the service.
  12. Site Configuration Manager should re-create the remaining Systems Management Server services in the registry (SMS_HEIRACHY_MANAGER, SMS_EXECUTIVE, SMS_INVENTORY_AGENT, and SMS_PACKAGE_COMMAND_MANAGER).
  13. After you have your services restored, go into the Registry Editor REGEDT32 and make backups of each of these keys by saving them to a file.
