How Can I Remove a Secondary Site When The Server no Longer Exists?

This organisation deployed a new SCCM site and then decommissioned the server before successfully removing either the site or the server/roles.
I tried to force the removal of the site which failed:
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\bin\X64\00000409>preinst.exe /delsite xxx
Microsoft System Center 2012 Configuration Manager v5.00 (Build 7804)
Copyright (C) 2011 Microsoft Corp.
Cannot find site [xxx] in the site control data in the database. Checking in ServerData in the database.
Failed to execute SQL query.
The secondary site is showing in the console as 'deleting'.
Can anyone advise the best way to proceed?
Thanks.

I had the same issue and this is what they sent me... I used it and it worked for me.
1.       Please follow these steps to manually delete the
Secondary Site from the Secondary site server
2.       We also used the PREINST tool to remove the pending jobs.
3.       On the ConfigMgr primary site (parent) computer, click Start, and then click Run.
4.       Type cmd in the Open box, and then click OK.
5.       At the command prompt, type cd\, and then press the ENTER key.
6.       Type cd sms\bin\i386\00000409, and then press the ENTER key.
7.       To remove any pending or active jobs to a site, type Preinst /DELJOB SiteCode , and then press the ENTER key.
8.       We deleted the Secondary Site from the console of parent site.
9.       We removed the Sender Addresses from the Configuration Manager console, as explained below.
10.   Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Systems Management Server, and then click ConfigMgr Administrator Console.
11.   Locate the Site Settings\Addresses subtree.
12.   Right-click the address for the failed secondary site, and then click Delete.
13.   Then we cleaned the registry, by taking the backup of the HKLM Node

Thanks Lavelle, however your instructions are clearly for SCCM 2007:
11.   Locate the Site Settings\Addresses subtree.
12.   Right-click the address for the failed secondary site,
and then click Delete.
Can you confirm you have run these steps on your own SCCM 2012 site?

My Apple ID is registered in wrong email address. How can i change it or else when the server reply me to check my email that i can't check due to they sent to wrong email address...

Please give advice of how can i change my Apple ID (email address) as it is wrong address. Like i just update my iPhone to latest version 6.0, and get the new app, iCloud which need me to key in my Apple ID and Password. I have no choice to use the wrong email address as it is already registerd since from 1st day i use my iPhone. Then i received the reply that tell me to check my email for verifing but the problem is i can't check my gmail as they sent to the email is not my actual gmail address....
How can i solve this problem?

You may change your Apple ID to any email address that is not already used as another Apple ID, or that is not already associated with another Apple ID.
In other words, if I have an Apple ID [email protected], and have alternate email addresses of [email protected] and [email protected], none of them may be used by me or anyone else for an Apple ID, Rescue Email, alternate email, or anything Apple-related.
If the Apple ID link above indicates your email is already in use then it is. Use https://iforgot.apple.com, select Forgot your Apple ID? and provide the information requested. If the email address is one you created and can still access, you may be able to retrieve it. If it is one someone else created, you will not.

How can I turn off "reply" button when the messages come? I prefer the "open" button.

How can I turn off "reply" button when the messages come? I prefer the "open" button. Because my friends usually send lots of messages at the same time so I cannot read all of them when I press "reply", then I have to go to Messages -> my friends' messages, and it's really complicated.

Sorry for not quite understanding. I guess you are referring to a notice in an alert. I do not have that alert active on my device, so I cannot say. I use the banner alert, so I just get a notice of a message and can swipe to open that particular message. If I ignore it, it will eventually go away.

All apps (and other content from the store) are tied to the account that downloaded them, whether or not they are free. To do in-app purchases in that app you will either need to log in with the account that downloaded it, or delete it (which will delete its content) and download it with your currently logged in account if you want to do IAPs on that account.

That's doing it the hard way. Why not use HTTP or FTP?

How can we handle in flex application if the server is down?

how can we handle in flex application if the server is down?

You and me both.
As ambiguous as the original question was, I think he was just asking how to handle a server exception and I would suggest generally just using a Alert.show("your specific message (eg. The server is currently unavailable)") in the place where you handle the fault return from your service or http call. I'm sure there are more complicated messaging frameworks or approaches, but that seems to be enough for my apps.

I do not want him to have my word documents.
How can I remove them?

I do not understand your problem. You can erase the whole Mac as I said n my first reply.
If you only want to delete the documents, move them to the Trash and securely delete the Trash. See:
