Deleting targets when reinstalling agent? [solved]

Question

Hi,
I'm currently staging a production environment with 2 oracle databases and grid control all on different windows servers.
The OS has been reinstalled for a couple of times and each time, the same as the oracle software.
But with every reinstall, the agent is also reinstalled, resulting in "Agent Unreachable" in Grid control.
To get the monitoring to show up in grid control, i have to delete the targets of the newly installed agent and reconfigure the new once. This method results in a loss of history which i like to avoid.
So I'm wondering if it is possible to "reset" the agent configuration in Grid Control so that the new installed agent is recognized and the history can be kept in grid control.
Thanks in advance for your ideas

So I tried this one:
Look for the windows equivalent to agentca -d in your
agent home.Output goes here:
--- start of output ----
D:\oracle\product\agent10g\bin>agentca -d -c racprod2
D:\oracle\product\agent10g\bin>set ORACLE_HOME=D:\oracle\product\agent10g

Result after this is still the same, no reachable agent.
Maybe I should open a SR?
