Azure AD Provisioning - Remove an Inactive Agent

Hello,

I've been testing the new Azure Active Directory Provisioning Agent, I have since finished what I required and need to switch back to Azure AD Connect. I have uninstalled the Agent and it's components from the server it was installed on which changed the status to inactive but it still shows within the Azure Portal under the 'Review Agents' section. The Virtual Machine has been on for over 24 hours so I don't think it will just disappear. Additionally I haven't been able to find anything about PowerShell commands that will remove the agent. Can anyone advise me how this inactive agent can be removed?

Thank you

    Hi @Jonathan Mann · Welcome to Q&A platform and thank you for your query.

    Any unused connectors/agents are tagged as inactive and are removed automatically after 10 days of inactivity.

    This is not explicitly documented for Azure AD Provisioning Agent but it is documented under Maintenance section of Understand Azure AD Application Proxy connectors document.

    @Andy David - MVP the delete option you are referring to is to delete the configuration. On the Agents page, there is no delete option:

    Thank you both for the very quick responses.

    Appreciate the information, I must have missed that article when I was researching the issue.

    I'll wait the period and report back any issues but very happy with that.

    Thanks again.
