Hi Avinash If nobody wants to monitor this server then the best approach is to ask the team responsible for this server to remove the agent. Otherwise, you have an agent on the server consuming cpu, memory, disk IO for no reason. The next "easiest" solution would be to put the server into maintenance mode. Otherwise you can set an override to disable the discovery and use the remove-disabledmonitoringobject cmdlet as per the following threads: http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en/operationsmanagergeneral/thread/8cabb2d9-9689-4912-8302-3db44005bfc2 http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-AU/operationsmanagergeneral/thread/19813b28-0687-4278-abe1-d05835443e0c Cheers GrahamNew SCOM 2012 Blog! - http://www.systemcentersolutions.com/blog/ View OpsMgr tips and tricks at http://systemcentersolutions.wordpress.com/

You can uninstall it form ADD/remove program, control panel. The program is System Center Operation Manager 2007 R2 Agent. But they have to remove it from the management. Regards, Samir Farhat Infrastructure Consultant

if you dont have the rights to uninstall the agent frmo that sql box and if you cant get anybody to do it for you (for a while), than you can place that server in Maintenance mode for a long time, so at least you dont get bothered anymore with alerts from it. aftre that just have the agent uninstalled frmo the machine by anybody. After they did that you can delete it from scom admin console - agent managed.Bob Cornelissen - BICTT (My BICTT Blog) - Microsoft Community Contributor 2011 Recipient

Hello Team, We have SCOM 2007 R2 on cluster. We have configured 15 servers in monitoring and all of them are working fine. In all servers one of the server is managed by other team and that server is thronging a lot of alerts continuously because of that SQL Database is growing continuously. How to remove the that particular server from monitoring. Since we don't have control on the server . We need to remove that server SCOM console. Could you please help me out? Regards Avinash

Hi Could you confirm that you don't want to monitor that server - if that is the case then the best way is to get the other team to uninstall the agent (or you can uninstall the agent from the administration pane of the SCOM console). Or is it just SQL monitoring that you want to disable?

Hi, you can override or disable the monitor/rule generating lots of alerts unstead of removing the server from management. See this thread: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=692 Regards, Samir Farhat Infrastructure Consultant

It depends ... disabling monitors does not meet this requirement - "we need to remove that server <from the> SCOM console. " If the original poster does not want to monitor this server and wants to remove it from the console then the best approach is to remove the agent. If it is just SQL monitoring that isn't required then it is easier to do an override against the discovery and run remove-disabledmonitoringoobject than to override every SQL rule \ monitor.

We usually don't remove server from management because it's a security/Availability issue. We usually advise customers to not remove servers from management but disabling/Overriding/Changing thresholds to make SCOM less noisy.Regards, Samir Farhat Infrastructure Consultant

Hello Davies, We don't want to monitor the server at all . we can not uninstall the agent form the server because that is not in my control Regards Avinash
