After upgrade SEPM to RU5, when I install client using console and find unmanaged client SEPM scripts instead of copy files to C:\Temp folder, it create on C drive Temp file (wihtout extension) includes contents of all files, that are ususally in C:\Temp\CLi-inst folder! This is a SEPM RU5 bug?

Hi prohol, It is a "feature"

Hi prohol,

It is a "feature" when you push out client packages from SEPM.  When the package installs, it uses the directory you mentioned. 

See my idea to get get rid of this.

thanks all. I use 3 solution

thanks all. I use 3 solution from second link writen by sandip_sali using psexec. But my question is, why, when I'm using SEPM find unmanaged computers function, and install new version of SEP on computer with older version of SEP, it create temp file on C: (not folder Temp!) and installation failed? And after this when im using psexec to copy sylinkdrop.exe,sylink.xml and *.bat file (which execute smc -stop etc) to C:\Temp folder on client computer, script failed becouse  there are not c:\temp folder and cannot create Temp folder (couse file temp exist).
