Removing the Legacy Client

  • Article

As described in Chapter 4, "Understanding SMS Clients," the Legacy Client software can be removed from client computers in a site by removing the SMS site boundaries from the site configuration. You can also use other methods to remove Legacy Clients, as described in this section.

Important:

  • Removing the SMS client software from computers does not remove the clients from the SMS site database. Clients that are not updated are automatically purged from the SMS site database after a period of time, usually 30 days. If you want to remove these clients immediately from the SMS site database, use the SMS Administrator console to delete them.

When the Legacy Client is removed, the client loses the history of advertisements it ran. If the client is reinstalled later, it might re-run advertisements that were already run on the client.
