According a previous post :
[https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/systemcenter/en-US/b768d2b9-3567-4bc9-9144-9839ee16db6b/scom-2007-r2-gateway-reconfiguration-is-it-possible-to-change-the-management-group-a-gateway-is?forum=operationsmanagergeneral][1]

=> Changing management group on a SCOM Gateway server is not possible
=> Only solution is to uninstall Gateway server and reinstall new version

As this post is quite old, can somebody confirm me this assumption is still valid ?

Thank you for your help

    Hi,

    Based as I know, to change the management group of the Gateway server in current version, we still need to reinstall the Gateway server to re-configure it.

    Hope it can help.

    Hi,
    You have posted in the Windows Server forum, since your issue is related to SCOM, I suggest you ask over at the dedicated SCOM forum over here:

    As pre Crystal-MSFT said, the gateway server is kind of the SCOM management servers and you does not just change it reporting to different management group. The available option is reinstall gateway server.

    Hi @Ivan Renoud-Grappin ,

    Yes, this is true, once you have installed a Gateway, its Management Group affiliation cannot be chnaged. You need to reinstall it.
    When you install it again, consider that on the Gateway you have a certificate, so that it can talk to the "old" management group. In case you re-install it, your GW needs to talk to the "new" management group and this might require installing and importing (MOMCertImport) a new certificate.
