Anders,It seems to be installed on that box, boy is my face red! Apparhently the last admin installed it. Would an uninstall from the programs applet be sufficient?

yes, uninstall the agent from add/remove programs in the control panel. -- Anders BengtssonMicrosoft MVP - Ops Mgrwww.contoso.se "geek_since_77" wrote in message news:3cd62c47-baec-488 7-b49e-80f290e103a2...
