I am trying
to install the SMS 2.0 client on a member server. Every time I try to
install it it’s installed to C:\winnt\temp\ms. The install then fails and I
try again.
Can anybody give me an idea as to why this might be happening?Contributed By:

From the description, it sounds like you may be attempting a remote client
install or may be logged in on the member server without admin rights.
Either way could get you into this situation.
When the client install runs it first copies components into the temp
folder. Then, it attempts to move them into the WINNT folder. If you don't
have sufficient rights to do so (such as a low rights user), the client
install will pause and create a CCR (client configuration request) and send
it to the site server to request help. The site server then connects to the
client and finishes the install under the context of the SMS Service
account.
So, you could be failing at a couple of points - creating and submitting the
CCR (check the client logs - WN_logon or WN_manual) or the site server may
be having difficulty connecting back to the client - check the CCM.LOG on
the site server (logging needs to be on to see this log).
