Hi,
In the first article, you can find:
The process of uninstalling Essentials 2010 also uninstalls the Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) server and Group Policy objects (GPOs) that specify where the managed computers retrieve updates.
Generally, you do not have to remove the GPOs manually. If there's any problem to uninstall the SCE server and you have to manually clear the AD configurations, the following steps will help you:
1. Delete the two SCE GPO that was created during the fist setup. This can be done from Group Policy management Console or through Active Directiry Users and Computers. The name of the policys is "SCE Managed Computers Group Policy (Your_Old_Server_MG)" and "System Center Essentials All Computers Policy"
2. Delete the security group that was created during the first setup. This can be done from Active Directory Users and Computers. The name of the group is SCE Managed Computers (Your_Old_Server_MG)
3. Delete the SCE Service Connection Point (SCP) objects:
- 1) On the Domain Controller, open ADSI Edit (Start – Run – Adsiedit.msc).
- 2) Right click on the “Domain” tree and select New – Query.
- 3) In the New Query window, enter the following:
Name: SCESCP Query
Root of Search: <domain name>
Query String: (&(objectCategory=serviceConnectionPoint)(cn=SCE_2010_SCP)) - 4) Click on OK.
- 5) Expand the Domain node in ADSI Edit and select the “SCESCP Query” node.
- 6) A “CN=SCE_2010_SCP” object should be listed in the right-hand pane, with a distinguished name of“CN=SCE_2010_SCP,CN=<ComputerName>,CN=<OUName>,DC=<DomainName>,DC=com”. This tells us which computer account has the SCE SCP.
- 7) After confirming that System Center Essentials is not being used on this server, delete the SCE_2010_SCP object from the “SCESCP Query” node in ADSI Edit.
