How to remove SCOM management group from console

Question

Hello

I'm not a SCOM specialist, but I have to remove scom management group on many servers but from the SCOM console, then uninstall all clients on all server and uninstall it, in order to dismiss the scom configuration. I think it's possible but I don't know how to do this. I found this following article:

https://argonsys.com/microsoft-cloud/library/scom-task-to-add-or-remove-management-groups-on-agents/

But I don't know how create the administration pack including the tasks. Does somebody can help me please.

Hi,

If I understand correctly, we want to destroy the entire deployment, right? If that is the case, we can uninstall the scom agent first, and then uninstall scom server itself.

To uninstall the scom agent, we can find the agent, right-click, choose uninstall or we can use the script like below if the agent number is huge
Note: this is only a sample script to show how it works and you may need to modify it according to your actual environment.

$computers = get-content c:\temp1\comp.txt  # each hostname in one line  
foreach ($computer in $computers)  
{  
    $computer = $computer + ".domain.com"  # your actual domain suffix here  
    Get-SCOMAgent -DNSHostName $computer | Uninstall-SCOMAgent  
 write-host "the scom agent uninstallation on computer"$computer" was complete!"  
}  

To uninstall the scom server itself, just open the control panel, find the scom one, and choose uninstall.

If we are on a multi-homed enviroment (each agent reports to several management servers in different management groups) and we want to reduce the number of management group, we may refer to this scipt.
