I blogged about this last year, but when I moved my blog, I lost part of the post (the picture) so I just deleted the post.  Then I noticed that Google is still sending people here to find the answer, so\u2026<\/p>\n

If you have DPM Protected Computer that goes away before you uninstall the agent, it isn\u2019t obvious how you get the agent removed from the console.  Or at least it wasn\u2019t immediately obvious to me.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. In the Management\/Agents tab, right click on the agent (it will have a red x and \u201cUnavailable\u201d in the Agent Status column) and select Uninstall\u2026<\/li>\n
  2. Verify your list of agents (you can select more than one)<\/li>\n
  3. Click on \u201cUninstall Agents\u201d<\/li>\n
  4. Enter the appropriate credentials.  This must be an account that has permissions to remove the agent from the DPM server, even though the Protected computer doesn\u2019t exist, it still has to be a valid account.<\/li>\n
  5. Select the \u201cManually restart the selected servers later\u201d radio button<\/li>\n
  6. Click ok.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    So far, that isn\u2019t any different than any other client uninstall.   At this point, you will have the option to close the window, and go on about your business.  And if the protected computer was still available, that would be perfectly fine to do.  But since the protected computer isn\u2019t still available, you have to wait for the error to pop up.  First you will see that the uninstall failed and then you get this message:<\/p>\n

    \"image\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

    Basically, it says, I couldn\u2019t find that computer to remove the agent, you want me to just forget that it existed?  You click on \u201cYes\u201d and then the entry for that computer is removed from the DPM database.  Now wasn\u2019t that obvious?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
