Removing Orphaned Agents
There are several scenarios that can lead to an orphaned agent. An agent can be orphaned if it is left behind during the removal of the MOM server components. Or, an agent can become orphaned if the computer is taken offline, or if the computer changes roles before you have uninstalled the MOM agent.
To remove an orphaned agent
- After running the manual agent setup program, uninstall the agent using Add/Remove Programs, in Control Panel.
Before reinstalling the agent to a management group, first resolve the problem that caused the agent computer to be orphaned. If possible, install the agent remotely from a Management Server, instead of installing the agent manually.
