Unable to remove the Component Server Site System Role
Problem
- The detection method looked for the 'Adobe Air' folder under%program files% Common Files Adobe, which was present after install. Since everything seemed to be okay, I uninstalled the application via Control Panel (NOT Software Center, as I did not specify an uninstall command when I pushed it) and the application status still shows as 'Installed'.
- The Software Center will switch to the Installation Status tab and show you the progress of the installation in the status column. NOTE: If you want to uninstall software after it has been installed, you can do so by highlighting it and clicking the Uninstall button. If the Uninstall button is greyed out, that means you cannot uninstall that.
As I am new to SCCM, I have been testing out different parts of it and I came across an issue where I was trying to remove a DP (Distribution Point) from a server. I loaded the console and went to Administration / Overview / Site Configuration / Servers and Site System Roles
Software Center shows a notification with a snooze option and the time remaining before it forces the devices to restart. The message may be different depending on your version of Configuration Manager. Software Center final countdown notification. Software Center shows this final countdown notification that the user can't close or snooze. Configuration Manager uses this setting to connect users to the Application Catalog from Software Center. You can specify a server that hosts the Application Catalog website point by its NetBIOS name or FQDN, specify automatic detection, or specify a URL for customized deployments.
From there I right clicked on the server that had the DP I wanted to remove and selected Delete from the menu.
Once I clicked delete I was presented with a Delete Server dialog box stating…
The server “myservername” cannot be deleted because it contains the following site system roles: Component server
The component server role supports other site system roles and is created automatically by Configuration Manager. Although there might be a delay, this role is automatically removed after you remove other site system roles on this server.
I tried right clicking on the Component server role under Site System Roles but the Remove Role option was grayed out so I couldn’t remove the Component Server Site System Role.
Solution
From what I have read, the Component Server role only gets installed on a server when a Site System role is installed with the exception of a DP. In my testing I don’t remember installing a role other than a Distribution Point on this machine so it shouldn’t have had the Component server role installed. I guess that I must have installed another role other than the Distribution Point and removed it but the Component server role didn’t get removed.
Sccm Software Centre Uninstall Greyed Out
The way I found to fix this is listed below.
- Go to Administration / Site Configuration / Servers and Site System Roles / Click on your server to highlight it / Right click Site system under Site system Roles and select Properties from the menu.
- You will need to make a change to one of the settings on the Site system properties screen. Since your choices are limited I would suggest that you check the Require the site server to initiate connections to this site system then click OK.
- Wait 10 – 20 minutes. Yeah SCCM is slow about doing some things.
- Right click your server and choose refresh. Hopefully now the Component server role should no longer show up.
- You can now delete the server DP role.
