We have servers that needs retired, so I uninstall from the console and the servers disappear from the agent managed view. But if you look under computers in the monitoring view the server is still there. When we were on SP1 we had a similar issue and i contacted MS and we got a script to clear it out out of the database (Orphaned Servers)now that we are on R2 it seems the script doesnt work because it can not locate the name..any suggestion on thisagent manage and computers are off by 22 when they should be the same

Is it possible to delete them in one of the administration panes?do you see them in pending or so?Greetz, Arie de Haan MVP SCOM This posting is provide "AS IS" with no guarantees, warranties, rigths etc.

Hello, I did run this query but none os my "stale" computers are there. Ther's another way supported ? Thanks for your time.Tiago Lock

I am having this problem with one computer, which I removed from SCOM and would like to re-add (still in a testing phase). I cannot install the agent because I get an error telling me that there is already an agent installation active. If I run the above query, I get a list of discoveries associated with the removed computer. What should I do with them? Or do I just need to wait until the grooming happens?
