MadLuka has a great post here about some issues related to the R3 upgrade for the SCCM client. Basically, deploying this hotfix without respecifying the correct parameters can knock out your SMSSLP settings on your clients. This is not an issue if your clients can find the management point using WINS, DNS or Active Directory, but is a massive issue if you have workgroup clients that don't use these technologies.
Our fix was to roll out the registry key HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\CCM\SMSSLP to all affected machines and this fixed the issue.

It should work, but I've not tested it. It's one of those things that was a requirement, but was quickly dropped, so never even got into testing.

On most systems this executable is found at
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ccmsetup
But since Operating System Deployment relies on the SCCM client, how do you uninstall it as part of a task sequence? The answer is simple - schtasks.
The following command should work as the last step in a task sequence-
schtasks /create /tn "Remove SCCM Client" /tr "C:\WINDOWS\system32\ccmsetup /uninstall" /sc ONSTART /Z /ru "SYSTEM"
