Hi All, Require your advise ... Recently I have decommissioned 4 of our secondary site from Primary site. But one of the secondary site is still showing up in Central Site Configuration Managaer console. Brief Details: Our environment: SCCM 2007 SP1 R3 Steps followed to decommission: 1. Moved the boundaries from Secondary Site to Primary Site 2. Deinstalled Secondary site 3. Removed the Address entry of Secondary Site from Primary site 4. Run the command PREINST.EXE /DELSITE <Secondary Site Code> <Primary Site Code> (To delete the site code from Primary Site) 5. Run the command PREINST.EXE /DELSITE <Secondary SIte Code> <Central Site Code> (To delete the site code from Central Site) 6. Run the command PREINST.EXE /DELJOB (Run this command on both Primary and Central Site to remove pending jobs) After all these stpes 3 secondary servers are gone from Primary Site and Central Site console. But the problem is now that, 1 Secondary Site Server entry has gone from Primary Site console but still visible in Central Site Console. I do not have any option to delete it from Central Site Console. Kindly help in resolving this issue ASAP.

Have you tried rerunning #5 for this secondary site? Note that issues requiring assistance ASAP should be directed to CSS.Jason | http://blog.configmgrftw.com

Yes i have tried that step again. it did not resolved the issue.

Rerun preinst.exe /delsite <removed child site code> <parent site code> Run the following queries in SQL and look for old Site references in the output of the queries. Run these Queries and check output: Select * from SysResList Select * from SiteControl Select * from SiteControlNotification Select * from Sites Select * from Sites_Data Select * from pkgservers Select * from pkgstatus If you find any data releated to that site you can Run this query to delete the reference to the old site Delete from Sites_Data where siteCode=XXX Note: Alteration in SQL is not supported by MS and its not adviseable. Please be careful while doing it.Jho | " Please remember to mark as helpful/answer if this helped you"

I've seen this situation many times. Normally, running the following command at the CENTAL site should do the trick. PREINST.EXE /DELSITE <Secondary SIte Code> <PRIMARY Site Code> Be sure you are running this command as a user with full admin rights in SCCM. If not, you will get a misleading error message something like "secondary site not found". Nick.

Thanks ... I have already followed the step to run this command on Central. That is Step #5. But I am able to resolve this issue now. Thank you all...

What was the solution? Nick.

I have used PSTools from Sysinternals. This will elevate the permission and we can run the step 5 again and this resolved the issue.
