Reinstalling MOM Agent for Forefront

Question
-
Good day-
Due to an imaging issue, I now have DCOM errors all over the place and it's related to the MOM Agent. I know that uninstalling and reinstalling the agent can fix the issue.
I know the command line to uninstall..but can someone help me with the reinstall?
I've tried this and it doesn't work for me:
MsiExec.exe /i C:\Forefront\CLIENT\momagent.msi /norestart /qn /l*v "C:\MOMReinstall.log" CONFIG_GROUP="ForefrontClientSecurity" MANAGEMENT_SERVER="FOREFRONTSERVER" AM_CONTROL="Full" REINSTALL=ALL
I just want a nice quick way to reinstall the MOM Agent via command line.
Thanks!Thursday, August 20, 2009 8:35 PM

Hi,
Thank you for your post
According to your description, I understand that you want to reinstall MOM Agent with command line.
I think the command line your have is basically correct, but you may miss the quotation marks on “ALL”. Please correct the command as follow and see if it works:
MsiExec.exe /i C:\Forefront\CLIENT\momagent.msi /norestart /qn /l*v "C:\MOMReinstall.log" CONFIG_GROUP="ForefrontClientSecurity" MANAGEMENT_SERVER="FOREFRONTSERVER" AM_CONTROL="Full" REINSTALL=”ALL”

Putting quotes around ALL did not work. The error I get from that command line is "This installation package could not be opened. Verify that the package exists and that you can access it, or contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer Package." Has anyone had any luck running this?Tuesday, October 6, 2009 3:55 PM

Try this:
MsiExec.exe /I{F692770D-0E27-4D3F-8386-F04C6F434040} /norestart /qn /l*v "C:\MOMReinstall.log" CONFIG_GROUP=" SameManagementGroup " CONFIG_GROUP_OPERATION="ForefrontClientSecurity" MANAGEMENT_SERVER="forefrontserver" AM_CONTROL="Full" REQUIRE_AUTH_COMMN=1 REINSTALL="ALL"
-OR-
I like to just remove it, and let WSUS reinstall it automatically on the next detection. This way you can't get bitten by a typo. It pulls all the settings from your policy.

adding to this thread i am having a similar problem. MOM is on these machines and we are moving to a different collection server.
from the collection blog post we have modified the mseexec to read:MsiExec.exe /I {F692770D-0E27-4D3F-8386-F04C6F434040} /norestart /qn /l*v C:\MOMReinstall.log CONFIG_GROUP=ForefrontClientSecurity CONFIG_GROUP_OPERATION=ModifyConfigGroup MANAGEMENT_SERVER=SITDCFTFRONT.ams.usda.gov AM_CONTROL=Full REQUIRE_AUTH_COMMN=1 REINSTALL=ALL
the momreintall log shows progress then failure.
