Restart SMS_SITE_COMPONENT_MANAGER Service

Question

Hi,

Can I restart "SMS_SITE_COMPONENT_MANAGER" service on primary server.

The reason why I need to restart this service is that I have remove all of the roles from an server (Not primary) but I still see Component server Role

I have check reg on primary server
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SMS\Components\SMS_SITE_COMPONENT_MANAGER\Component Servers
and I dont see the server which i'm working on.

If I restart the "SMS_SITE_COMPONENT_MANAGER" service during working hours or it can be done anytime as it doesnt effect the sccm.

Yes, you can restart it. Componen Manager checks is there anything else components which should be re-installed or installed during role add.
