Evaluation period for SCOM 2012 R2 has expired. How to completely remove SCOM 2012 R2 clients and SCOM 2012 R2 itself (Management Packs and server) and SQL at the end? I can not connect to SCOM 2012 R2 server - there is an error: Failed to connect to . . .

I want to completely remove everything as if I would have done if product had not been expired. I deployed clients to domain controllers, exchange server . . . so I do not want to have any "garbage" left on these computers after client removal. I assume MPs, server and SQL can be completely uninstalled from Control Panel but what about clients? Does anyone have this problem?

Changing the date/time on your SCOM server should let you start it.

This is a dirty trick, but it should work ;)
