The Menu Bar
Remove
The Remove command is available on the Client Menu or pop-up menu only when one or more
Managed Systems is selected in the Organization topology. This command is used for un-
managing systems; it removes them from both Organization and Task Groups, and will then
place them under your UnManaged Systems.
You cannot un-manage systems by dragging and dropping them to UnManaged Systems. You
must use the Remove command.
First, select the managed system(s) you want to un-manage. You can select a batch of
systems by pressing CTRL + left-click individually on systems, or by using Shift + left-click to
highlight a range of systems.
Then do either of the following:
Select Remove from the Client Menu.
In the Workgroup Frame (the center frame of the Console window), right-click on the
icon of the system you want to un-manage, then select Remove from the pop-up menu.
A dialog box will appear and require you to confirm that you want to un-manage the selected
system(s).
If any of the selected systems happen to be currently on-line, an additional dialog box will
appear for each on-line system to notify you of such. If any of those systems are detected
later, they will then be located in the root level of UnManaged Systems.
After a system has successfully been removed, a message in the Status Frame will confirm the
new un-managed status.
In addition, any usage restrictions that may have been set on that system previously using the
Configure Restriction... command on the Client Menu will be lifted.
Cancel
This command cancels the previous request, and changes the Pending status to Normal status
for one or more selected systems. For example, if you attempt to manage a system using the
Add to Group... command, the icon of that system will indicate that it is in a Pending status
while waiting for a response from the System Owner. If it remains in a Pending status for
several hours and you wish to cancel the
“
manage request
”
shown in the previous figure, select
the icon and then select Cancel from the Client Menu. Or, right-click on the icon and select
Cancel from the pop-up menu. Or press Ctrl + C on your keyboard.
