    SMLatCST,

    I installed a new server and its running ok.
    Now i want to delete the old server from my console but i get the error: "you cannot delete the management server to which you are currently connected"

    Any idea? SEPM is deinstalled on this server..

    Did you stop the SEPM service first on the old sepm?

    From what screen are you trying to delete it, can you share a screenshot? Is the old server still showing in the management server list? You need to assign a new MSL with only the new SEPM to the groups

    Hello,

    Change the MSL for all groups at the primary server to the default MSL of the primary.

    Follow the Process as shown below:

    ApplydefaultMSL1_0.JPG

     

    ApplydefaultMSL2_0.JPG

    NOTE: Make sure you Assign the Default Policy to all the Groups and Sub-groups.

    Yes i have the default msl currently not assigned, and i made a custom msl for load-balancing, In this msl only my 2 "new" server are listed, the old one is allready deleted from this list.

    Can you check to see if SEPM service is off? I know you said you uninstalled so it should be but I'm just curious.

    Does the server play some other role that it needs to be on?

    SEPM server service is off and also not there anymore.
