Orphan nodes in Windows computers

Hi ,

I have more than 70 orphan nodes present in windows computers. i would like to clean them. what is the suggested method to do that?

By orphan nodes, i guess you mean servers which do not have agent installed now or are decommissioned.

Please run the powershell commands -

Remove-SCOMDisabledClassInstance and Remove-DisabledMonitoringObject

Tried the Remove-DisabledMonitoringObject no luck. i tried the DB update. but after few minutes the nodes are coming back to console

Do you still have scom agents installed on them ?

where do you see them coming back? in Windows computers view?

What type of computer are they? Domain Controllers?? SharePoint servers??

Or are they clients? If so, do you (or did you have) AEM enabled?
