  Hi,
  
  We just upgraded from SMS to SCCM and we are having this issue as exposed on the following link:

  1.) "When we migrated to SCCM, these clients were fighting over which of them was the real and live system in SCCM, such that some client records would suddenly disapper from the console…then if they’re client was fixed, a different client record would disappear" 
  
  2.) However, simply uninstalling/reinstalling the SCCM client was not resolving the issue.  After some digging around, I found a couple of utilities to help rip out the SCCM client and force a new GUID to be assigned. 
  
  The solution seems to be:

  • Execuste ccmdelcert.exe (wait for process termination)
  • Delete the file %WINDIR%\SMSCFG.ini
  • Execute ccmsetup.exe /uninstall (wait for process termination)
  • Delete directory %WINDIR%\system32\ccm\
  • Delete registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\CCMSetup
  • Delete registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS
  • Execute ccmsetup.exe (wait for process termination)

  
  Does someone know or have this scripted? Or knows any other way to fix the problem. I have about 100 clients having this issue.
  
  Thank you in advance for your help.
