The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Operations Manager 2000

This article was previously published under Q300317

SYMPTOMS

When you manually install a Microsoft Operations Manager (MOM) agent and you then click the Scan option (for Agent Manager Control), you can have the Agent Manager remove the agent through the MOM Administrator console, contrary to the information that appears under the Scan option.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.

MORE INFORMATION

The Scan option specifies that the Agent Manager only collects system attributes and that you must manually upgrade or remove agent software. However, if you click Uninstall Now in the Agent Manager properties in the MOM Administrator console, the Agent Manager does in fact remove the selected MOM agent.
