Software Deployment

Another question; is there an easy way to force a re-advertisement to a client machine using the advanced client..? Sms 2.0 had an option to log installations, if you threw away the log from the client machine, SMS would re-advertise the specific package. SMS2003 doesn't seem to keep those logs locally. I know that, with the right privileges using the SMS console, there is an option to re-advertise (using either commandline (vb script) or a snap in), but is there also another way to do so without having to use the SMS Admin console or without having to be a domain amin...? ;) TIA
