The SCNotification process has to be stopped too. Also, we have had the ccmexec process restart, so we always watch it for a few minutes and make sure both processes don't restart. If you get the SMS Agent service paused or disabled fast enough, it usually doesn't restart. We just had to remember to restart the service at a later time.
We have only done this a handful of times, but it has worked every time for us.

Did not work in my case (Server 2003), I stopped SMS Agent Host service with no effect on the restart countdown.

But wouldn't uninstall the CM client stop the countdown? Obviously not a step to take for a large number of servers, but if you have one or two that have the problem it is a quick fix. Note: I haven't actually tried this, I'd prefer you do that... in production. :-) On Mon, Aug 18, 2014 at 2:50 PM, Daniel Ratliff <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Worst case maybe try to find the culprit process and kill it.
