I've got a bunch of agents of which some were homed to multiple management groups. All of the management servers for one of the management groups were retired without the agent entry being uninstalled via the console beforehand. Is there a relatively easy way to track down which systems still have agents with dangling connections and remove the entry for the management group that no longer exists while still keeping the connection to the remaining management group active? -J.

Hi, You can create the script-based monitor that will read the registry on computers and check all subkeys in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft Operations Manager\3.0\Agent Management Groups HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\HealthService\Parameters\Management Groups You can use something like this to remove old MG. You can do it with Recovery action or ConfigMgr (if you have it installed). http://OpsMgr.ru/

I would do what Alexey suggests to get an inventory of which agents have old MG configuration, and then uninstall those using command line options noted here: http://blogs.technet.com/b/jonathanalmquist/archive/2009/12/30/agents-remove-configured-management-group-or-uninstall-agent-using-command-line.aspxHTH, Jonathan Almquist - MSFT
