Hi Guys,

Looking for an advice, if there is any procedure to do SCOM 2007 R2 decommissioning, it is updated with Cu5

Thanks,

Hi,

You can follow below steps to decommission SCOM 2007 R2 with CU5

- Uninstall CU5 from each servers in your environment as you remove those roles
- Disable SNMP forwarding on networkdevices (when this is being used) to SCOM
- Disable Notification
- Uninstall Gateway Servers (if exist) from add/remove program
- Uninstall Management Servers (if exist) from add/remove program
- Uninstall SCOM Reporting (if exist) from add/remove program
- Uninstall RMS from add/remove program
- Remove databases

You can refer to below link on removal process

Hi Varun,

SCOM 2007 R2 with CU5 removal is thro' Add/Remove Program right?

or it should be done thro' CU5 installer package?

Thanks

If you are looking to decommission the whole SCOM 2007 R2 environment (ie remove everything) then there is no need to remove the CU .. below assumes that there is only one SCOM environment and you want to purge it from your organisation:

1) Uninstall all agents.

2) Uninstall all core components (MS, RMS, Reporting). Potentially decommission the servers if they were dedicated to SCOM

3) If you are looking to reinstall at some time or want to use the SQL Servers for something else then delete the databases and logins for the SCOM service accounts

4) Disable the SCOM service accounts. You can delete them but I'd prefer to disable them in the first instance in case they have been reused elsewhere. If something breaks then you can just re-enable the account

5) If you have deployed the AD Management Pack then delete the OpsMgrLatencyMonitors container

6) If you used AD Integration then remove the container that this creates from AD

7) If you have configured excchange to relay messages from the Management Server then you can remove this configuration in Exchange

8) Network devices that have been configured to use SCOM can be reconfigured (security removed) to clean up the ACLs

9) Ideally, if you have created Run As Accounts for specific applications e.g. SQL then you might need to remove these from the applications themselves e.g. remove the SQL logins used for SQL monitoring

Hi,

I know, it's an old post but let give a try. 

I have upgraded my SCOM 2007 R2 environment to SCOM 2012 R2 side by side. Now my new SCOM 2012 environment is ready and in production.

How can remove SCOM 2007 environment completely. Agents are of latest versions pointing to both environment. Please, let me know, if I uninstall SCOM 2007 R2, will these agent stop pointing to old SCOM 2007?
