SMS History question 1

[Jerz]

I first started on SMS 2003, and have dealt with the product since before Sp1. But I've never seen/loaded/used SMS 2.0 (and I've heard I'm lucky for that).

Anyhow, the company I work at now has been kind enough to assign me to manage the SMS 2003 product. So at a recent security audit, I'm flagged because there are a half dozen Domain Controllers with wide-open shares named 'SMSLOGON'. I've never heard of such a folder, but research shows it to be a holdover\remnant of SMS 2.0, which used to run here before I got here. I would like to just delete all these, but I've noticed the logs are still updating (though not with any useful or current info I could see).

Anyone with experience in a similar environment have advice? Can these shares just go away without causing issues?

Thanks,
David J.

As you say the SMSLOGON is something from the SMS 2.0 environment. I would first only remove the sharing and see if that is causing any issue to your current SMS environment. If not then you should be able to delete them.


I hope you find this post helpful.
