SMS was used to install SP3. We have found the need to uninstall this on
some machines. Does anyone have any suggestion on how to use SMS to
uninstall XP SP3?

I have tried to used to use
c:\windows\$NtServicePackUninstall$\spuninst\spuni nst.exe as suggested in
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/950249. I suspect this does not work because
of the needed user interaction.

Free unlimited installation and compatibility support is available for
Windows XP, but only for Service Pack 3 (SP3), until 14 Apr-09. Chat and
e-mail support is available only in the United States and Canada. Go to
http://support.microsoft.com/oas/def...spx?gprid=1173 | select "Windows
XP" then select "Windows XP Service Pack 3"
