Can't remove manually added server

Post by ejenner »

I have a problem with a physical Windows server I can't remove from the 'Manually Added' section on the 'Inventory' screen.

The server was removed ages ago. The physical hardware has just been redeployed and I can't install the agent to it as the presence of the old entry is blocking the installation of the agent to the freshly installed OS.

I can't find any reference to the old server anywhere else within the B&R console.

As you can see from the screenshot, it hasn't been seen online for 174 days.

Hello EJ,

Right click Manually Added protection group and go to properties. Open the computer tab and then remove the host, once done it should disappear from the Veeam B&R UI as well. Cheers!

yes, that was all that was required.

"Hands up" who wants a 'delete' button on the context menu...

+10 for a delete button. It should be obvious and not require a search to find it. There are a few issues with the Veeam interface that are not clear or obvious. I suggest a full review and fix some of these simple GUI changes.

It does :wink: We've already asked RnD folks to implement Remove option in the context menu, so huge chances this functionally will be in your hands with the next major version. Cheers!

After weeks of failure e-mails because of a duplicate instance I vote for the delete context button.

John,

Can you please clarify, if you tried to remove the host from manually added protection group (you need to go to protection group properties)? Thanks!
