Manual removal of failed resource

I have a failed Hyper-V role in my HA cluster that I cannot remove. The role shows in the cluster but any operation (including remove) fails with null pointer errors. If I look at Hyper-V on the node that is supposed to be running that role,
no VM exists.
I tried remove-clusterresource, but PowerShell gives the same null pointer error.
I've moved all the other roles off that node, since it was constantly failing them over, but now I've got to get this role out of my cluster somehow so that I can start moving other machines back onto the none. I don't even care about retaining the
data in the VM.
Is there any supported way to manually remove a VM role when none of the GUI tools or PowerShell work?

Hi,
Please refer the following correct steps to remove the cluster source:

tons of articles but anyone helps (i have removed all mailboxes from that server), my last resource is removing the last Exchange Server 2003 from my mixed (2003/2010) organization, I have read articles about to remove Exchange from one server and to remove
Exchange from one site, also to remove Exchange to reinstall after, but my goal is remove Exchange at all because I have Exchange Server 2010 too and finally need to migrate to Exchange 2013 so I need to clean Exchange 2003 manually from my

Project Server 2013 - Remove user from resource pool via sync

Hello everyone,
has anyone managed to configure their Project Server 2013 box with a resource pool sync that will actually remove user from the resource pool (disable "User can be assigned as resource" or deactivate users) when the user is removed from the AD
group(s)?
Setup: Single box, SQL 2012 SP1, SharePoint/Project Server 2013 + PU March + CU April. 2 PWA instances, 1 in SharePoint and 1 in Project permission mode. Tried on 2 different machines (different setup, accounts, domains).
Proceedings:
Create AD user U, AD group G. Add U to G.
Go to PWA, setup resource pool sync with G, sync.
U is now in the resource pool, has no PWA permissions.
Remove U from G. Resync resoure pool.
U is still in resource pool, still a resource, still active, can still be assigned as resource.
Adding U back to G an repeating the whole spiel with a resource pool and a PWA group sync of G will result in U being added and removed from the user list (as expected), and U being added but not removed from the resource pool.
Having read
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg982985.aspx and
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg750243.aspx, there does not seem to be an omission on my part.
The first article states:
Note:
The corresponding Project Server User Account is not deactivated based on this synchronization. If the same Active Directory user is configured to synchronize with a Project Server security group, the Project Server user account will be inactivated when
that synchronization occurs. For more information, see
Best practices to configure Active Directory groups for Enterprise Resource Pool synchronization in Project Server 2013.
Unfortunately, this deactivation either does not seem to occur even with a PWA group sync or I misunderstood the article.
So, did anyone manage to setup their resource pool sync in a way, that new resource will be added, but also be removed from the resource pool?
Kind regards,
Adrian

Hi Adrian,
you tried to sync the same AD group that you used for the resource pool sync also with a Project Server permission group?
And on removal of the user of the AD group the project user/resource is not deactivated? Only removed from the group
Regards
Christoph
Hi Christoph,
even though I might have tried that before, I tried it again in several constellations. It didn't change anything. The the user will be properly added to and removed from the PWA group whenever I remove them from the AD group, the use will also stay active
(but cannot logon without permissions). However, the user will always remain in the resource pool, i.e. the "User can be assigned as resource." checkbox will remain unless it is cleared manually.
Having re-read the technet articles, none of the scenarios actually seem to descibe or address the process that I require, or maybe I'm just misunderstanding. Let me just try to outline the core issue:
Add user to AD group. Sync AD group with resource pool. User is now a PWA resource and PWA user.
Remove user from AD group, but do not deactivate/delete user from AD.
(Magic happens!)
User cannot be assigned as ressource in PWA.
So, is there anything to make this step 3 happen, or is it just not possible to sync users out of the resource pool anymore unless they are deleted/deactivated in AD?
Kind regards,
Adrian

How do I manually remove CD from flat screen i-mac

Disc is not showing up on the screen and cannot eject it - have tried all keyboard/eject combos. Reset PRAM, tried eject prompt in terminal - Superdrive appears to be dead. Any suggestion to manually remove the disc? I need to retrieve data on it.

Hi,
Have had same basic problem. Here's how I got the disk out. Go to Application Folder and open Utilities Folder. Then open Disk Utilities. On the left of the screen you'll see a list of your drives including the DVD drive with the disk that is in it. Highlight the disk and click on the eject button at the top of the screen. The disk should come out if the drive has not failed. Good luck. This is a real pain but this worked for me. It's simple once you do it.

How to manually remove Photoshop Elements 4.0 from Windows

My uninstaller for Photoshop Elements 4.0 in Add or Remove programs fails with the message - "This action is only valid for products that are currently installed." The program folder still resides on my harddrive. The program itself neither runs nor will it allow me to delete the program files' Photoshop Elements 4.0 folder that contains the executable and dll files from my harddrive. I need a manual uninstall proceedure.

Have you got the disc? If so, you might try installing it again then an uninstall.
Failing that...
Here's the Adobe tech doc on removing Photoshop Elements 5. I would assume it would be the same procedure.

Removing a failed Norton AV 10 coporate install.

Hi I'm supporting a osx 10.4.5 xserve, and the client has installed Norton AV 10 coporate server console. However when they installed the mysql wasn't configured correctly.
There is no uninstaller and I have tried to manually remove the files.
I must be missing something as the installer keeps failing now, with the message "There were errors installing the software, please try again"
Any tips on how to completely remove the application and start from scratch. I have logged this with Symantec and am awaiting a call back.

just because you get errors doesnt mean there are some files left.
You could always log in and install from root?
There might be some issues where it's not compatible with your 10.4.5 install,
what does Norton say about it?
Usually it takes awhile before they support the latest upgrades.

Manual Removal of Office 2010 during Unattended 2013 install

As I'm sure it has been discussed many times before, the Office 2013 OCT deployment does a horrible job removing all Office 2010 components properly. Even with the option to "remove previous versions of Office before installing" selected,
there will still be pieces of Office 2010 lingering behind. It has been reported to me by our support department that this can randomly cause issues with Office 2013.
In these cases, our support group must manually remove the Office 2010 remnants and run a manual repair of Office 2013. Not ideal on 1000 systems.
To bypass all of this mess, I've attempted to add a command line via the Office Config Tool to remove Office 2010 as well as Lync 2010. I have configured OCT to Run a batch file
before installing Office2013 via the "Add installations and run programs" area. The batch file has 2 lines.
\\<server>\<share>\Office2010\Install\setup.exe /uninstall ProPlus /config \\<server>\<share>\silentuninstall.xml
\\<server>\<share>\Lync2010\LyncSetup.exe /silent /uninstall
Nothing too fancy here. Note that this batch file works as intended if I manually run it from command line on a workstation. So, I know that all of these commands are good. Also note, the sms installer account has access to the server and
shares specified in my commands.
This seems like it should be such an easy thing for OCT to pull off, but it just blows right by my batch file as if it doesn't exist. Am I missing something here? What can I do in OCT to ensure that it doesn't ignore this command?
Thanks,
David

I've seen this sort of query quite a few times over the past few months. The Office 2013 OCT tool does a fairly poor job removing previous Office versions.
Your uninstall argument is probably failing because your referencing an xml file that resides on a server file share. Config Manager will execute your argument using the system account so its probably a permissions based issue. You can test this by running
your uninstall argument using psexec which replicates this behavior.
I've approached this issue in a different way - you may wish to look at this option instead?
Microsoft have written some Office scrub vb script files to address the issue:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/odsupport/archive/2011/04/08/how-to-obtain-and-use-offscrub-to-automate-the-uninstallation-of-office-products.aspx
http://blogs.technet.com/b/odsupport/archive/2011/04/06/how-to-perform-an-uninstall-upgrade-to-office-2010.aspx
http://marckean.wordpress.com/2013/06/18/fully-automate-removal-of-any-version-office-in-preparation-for-office-365/
You could use a batch file wrapper as your Office 2013 Configuration Manager install command – something like this would work:
@echo off
SET INSTALL=%~dp0
:Remove Microsoft Office 2010 Suites
Cscript “%INSTALL%\OffScrub10.vbs” ALL /Quiet /NoCancel
:Install Microsoft Office 2013 Professional
Setup.exe
ping 127.0.0.1 -n 5 > nul
Has worked well for me. Note that you would need to add an additional line to remove Lync 2010 - probably something like msiexec /x {YourLync2010GUID} /q would be best.
Cheers

Server 2012 R2 - The Request To Add Or Remove Features Failed

I am having a frustrating time adding Remote Access role to my 2012 R2 domain controller (HyperV VM)...
It keeps failing with THE REQUEST TO ADD REMOVE FEATURES FAILED
I've tried repairing my component store with no luck...it keeps telling me the server requires a restart.
Could this have ANYTHING to do with the host machine needing a reboot? That is one thing I've not tired yet.
I've checked and followed this as well with no luck:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/systemcenter/en-US/24ab19c2-84de-4b89-beea-b0e3053c2e61/cannot-install-due-to-pending-reboot-prerequisite-check

Hi Brian,
Check the below points regarding this issue,
- Make sure there are no entries in HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session -Manager\ PendingFileRenameOperations.
- If there are, reboot to get them processed. Or do the renames manually and delete them.
- Run DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth to clean up the component store.
- Don't install on a Domain Controller.
Once you have checked the above points try to add the role again.
Checkout the below thread on similar discussion,

How do I Manually remove CD when iMac won't boot?

Last night I downloaded several updates. Suddenly my Intel iMac 20 no longer boots up past the grey screen of death. A CD is stuck in the drive so I can't use my Install disk. None of the key commands on boot up work so I can't eject. Tech support had me repeat the steps without any luck. Next step is going to a shop.
Does anyone know how to manually remove a CD from an iMac drive? Any paper clip type trick with these? If I could do that I could try the install disk on boot up.
Thanks,

Yes there is, Google to disassemble iMac, in my case" iMac 24" intel core duo" and you'll see more then one explanation, also with movie, but you'll need some torx tools. And be careful with disassembling the optical drive, to remove the plastic holder it's a bit tricky. Anyway good luck, but there is also a solutions at:< <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="http://">http://www.macyourself.com/2009/05/01/the-ultimate-guide-to-ejec ting-a-stuck-disc-from-mac-superdrive/> look at it BEFORE disassembling your MAC

Follow write permission on thread below - same error message
Re: CS6 updates and Mac write permissions
Need Adobe help to solve this. My own searches in Forums and Google all have failed.

It is not an Adobe problem. You have a OS permissions problem. You can try to correct this by using Disk Utility to Repair Permissions. It is in the First Aid area of Disk Utility.

How to manually remove Flash?

Is there a way to manually remove every part of Adobe Flash from OSX so that I can reinstall? I have posted the following on Adobe's forums but haven't managed to get a single reply!
Flash is crashing when I try playing video in Safari, Firefox or Google Chrome.
Chrome says that I have two almost identical versions of flash installed.
I have downloaded the uninstaller - it completes and says it has uninstalled, but does absolutely nothing.
Installing new versions does nothing either, I have rebooted in between etc but nothing. I've even tried removing the browsers and reinstalling.

Ok, getting some where, if not further
Finally found the plug-in, in Chrome's package contents (by right-clicking Chrome in finder and clicking 'show package contents').
Firefox and Safari must have been sharing it somehow, as removing this stopped flash working in them also!!
Have now removed Chrome & Firefox altogether. Re-ran flash uninstaller. Yay! No flash! Rebooted, installed Flash. First use - crashed!! Closed and reopened Safari - second run, video stuttering.
I know Mr Jobs doesn't want us to have Flash anyway, but I need it for some sites and this is really doing my head in :/

Is it possible to retry Distribution Point role removal if failed initially?

During my lab testing I came across a scenario where if you select to remove a distribution point role while the remote server hosting the distribution point isn't contactable, SMS_DISTRIBUTION_MANAGER won't retry the removal. Is there a (clean) way to manually
remove the distribution point role from the remote server or trigger SMS_DISTRIBUTION_MANAGER to attempt the removal again? In this case I will be rebuilding the server anyway, but I'm curious if there is a way to do this in case I encounter it in a production
scenario

may be you can try this solution http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rslaten/archive/2006/03/01/removing-a-retired-dp-from-all-your-packages.aspx

Manual removal of iMovie - then can't reinstall

Needing to make more room on the main drive I manually removed iMovieHD. Wanting to reinstall it i could see no way except to reinstall the whole OSX Tiger. But iMovie did not re-appear !! Was it because it wasn't there at re-install time so it only installed apps that were previously there. HELP

You are contradicting yourself:
Wanting to reinstall it i could see no way except to reinstall the whole OSX Tiger. But iMovie did not re-appear !
If you had lost the disks you could not have reinstalled Tiger. Moreover, if you have lost the disks Apple will replace them for you, possibly for a small charge.

Re-install CSA after manual removal

My client sent Microsoft's Hive Clean Tool out via SMS and one of the install settings from it caused CSA on all the remote laptops that received it to go into full lockdown mode.
Thankfully it was only a pilot that 650 users received, but the only way to fix them was to fedex them all a CD that ran a manual removal of CSA using the steps from Cisco.
Now that they are all back online, we'd like to re-install CSA. When running the original agent kit that installed it, we get a message 'unable to start CSAControl Service'. The service was removed during the manual removal, but is not installed again as a service during the install.
Platform is XP Tablet. CSA is v. 4.03. We are running the install as an admin. Does anyone have any ideas on getting it to re-install successfully?
Thanks.

Where can I get clear evidence of the supported platforms for 4.03? This could be a good reason to go ahead and upgrade all 9,000 tablets in the field.
Yes on the reboot question. We also have found that we can install 4.0 successfully. We'll see if we can get our hands on a 4.5 agent kit.
Does anyone know how to totally erase all evidence that CSA was installed on a client? The manual removal was deleting registry keys and some DLLs, but that was not a total uninstall.
Thanks.
