DPM 2010 Agent Removal

[Mohamad Berjawi]

Hi,
i am trying to remove an agent from DPM console and that agent is no longer
available. the error message is the following:
Uninstall protection agent from formatech-dc2.formatechedu.com failed:
Error 400: The DPM server was unable to retrieve information about the
remote system using the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) service on
formatech-dc2.formatechedu.com.
Error details: The RPC server is unavailable.

i know that this agent is unavailable but how to clean up my DPM server and
remove that system from my DPM console?

You have a Remove-ProductionServer.Ps1 script available to help in these
situations.

If you are a beta customer please do the following

1. select the agent in the dpm console
2. click uninstall, provide the credentials. But do not close the wizard.
3. If you wait in the wizard you will get a popup to force uninstall. Please
select yes to remove the agent from the DPM Console.

I am having the same issue, the wizard does not prompt me to removed it from
the database, it simply fails (I have read that this is a bug in DPM 2010
beta). Also, the Remove-ProductionServer.PS1 script is not present in my
installation. I am running DPM 2010 beta. Thoughts? Thanks!

Hi All

I have a tricky situation where i use DPM2010 to backup exchange 2007, the tricky part is i need to use DPM2007 on another server to backup the same exchange, i successfully uninstall the 2010 agent from the server but when i try to install a 2007 agent on the exchange server it says there is a newer agent installed. How can i remove that instance?

Note: DPM is also installed on the Exchange server, is it simply to uninstall the DPM on the exchange and it will work?
