SYMPTOMS

When you remove all packages from a BITS-enabled Microsoft Windows Server 2003 distribution point (DP), some Web components are not removed. The components that remain are the SMS Distribution Points Pool, the SMS_DP Web extension, and the items that represent the individual DP, such as the SMS_DP_SMSPKGC$ node.

If you remove all packages and you remove the Distribution Point role from the server, the individual DP items are removed, but the upper-level Web components remain. The upper-level Web components that remain are the SMS Distribution Points Pool and the SMS_DP Web extension.
