Re-install SCCM Client

There comes time when reinstalling the SCCM client on the users PC is needed. I tend to delete the client from the SCCM server before doing this so that a new account is created.

Click > "Start" and type "CMD"
Right click on "cmd.exe" and click "Run as Administrator"

Click Yes or authenticate to run the CMD window as Admin.
NOTE: "Run as administrator" is NOT the same as runing as an administrator account!!

In the command window, type the following:

cd / <enter>
cd \Windows\System32\ccmsetup\ <tab><tab>
 

Where <enter> and <tab> are the enter and tab keys on your keyboard.

This should now show the path including the GUID of the folder and press enter. This is different for every computer.

Type:

msiexec /x client.msi <enter>

The SCCM client will now uninstall. Once removed, run "ccmsetup.exe" again. You cannot install from the MSI. This can be found on the SCCM server, or from the folder:

"C:\Windows\System32\ccmsetup"

Since this silently installs the SCCM client, watch to see when the process "ccmsetup" stops running.
