Removing old License Servers (SCP issues?)

I've been tasked with cleaning up the list of "Known License Servers" that are found on our domain when running RD Session Host.
I have several that shouldn't be there. I've checked in ADSI Edit/Configuration/Sites/Default Site/TS-Enterprise-License-Server and it only has my current (correct) server listed. The Terminal Server License Servers AD group only has the current server listed
as well.
I think the issue is old SCP connections. If I find the computer account in AD, (and select to view Users, Contacts, Groups and Computers as containers) and expand the computer account I can see TermServLicensing underneath the computer account. I suspect
this is causing them to be discovered. Does anyone have any feedback or suggestions on if this could be my cause, and if so, is just Right-Click deleting the SCP the solution? Is there a better way to take care of deleting the old SCP?
Thanks
Sean

Hi,
Please go to the Remote Desktop Licensing website and check if old License servers are listed. If so, please try to remove them and see how it works.

Removing old exchange servers from AD with ADSIEdit

Hello all,
I know this has been discussed MANY times but I wanted to know if the only place these are stored is under CN:Server under Microsoft Exchange? I know this isn't the recommended way but I need to get these removed so I can re-use the old names.

CN=configuration,DC=.example,DC=.COM > CN=Services > CN=Microsoft Exchange > CN=Organization > CN= Administrative Groups > CN=(Groupname) > CN=Servers >
Looks to be correct.
This is where you would the sevrers, but try add/remove programs first, if a uninstall has failed or hasnt move the object then delete from here.Sukh

Remove Old Name Servers from reverse lookup zones in DNS- PowerShell

Hello Scripting Guys,
I'm a long-time fan. Please let me know if I have included enough information for you to provide some guidance. Thank
you!
Here is what I am attempting to do:
import a .csv file which contains
zoneName,hostname,RecordType
and then delete the name server entries from the reverse lookup zones.
Why:
There are hundreds of zones and 80+ name servers in each for a total of about 25,000 records to be removed. I
have the list of zones and the list of name servers which I want to remove from the zones.
Environment:
I am running PowerShell as a Domain Admin with access to DNS. Zones allow secure updates only (if that matters here).
I am running it from a Server 2012 R2 server with the DNS admin tools installed against Server 2008 R2 DNS servers. Current AD functional level Windows Server 2003. All DC are DNS server and GC's.
What I have tried:
The following
works to return all the Name Server records in a zone:
.csv file format
zoneName,hostname,RecordType
1.112.170.in-addr.arpa,nameserver1.contoso.com.,Ns
1.112.170.in-addr.arpa,nameserver2.contoso.com.,Ns
1.112.170.in-addr.arpa,nameserver3.contoso.com.,Ns
2.112.170.in-addr.arpa,nameserver1.contoso.com.,Ns
2.112.170.in-addr.arpa,nameserver2.contoso.com.,Ns
2.112.170.in-addr.arpa,nameserver3.contoso.com.,Ns
Script\Command:
Import-Module DnsServer
$PDCE = Get-ADDomainController -Discover -Service PrimaryDC
import-csv c:\temp\OldNSrecords-test.csv | foreach {
Get-DnsServerResourceRecord -ZoneName $_.zoneName -RRType "Ns" -computerName $PDCE
-Node
OutPut to screen:
HostName RecordType Timestamp TimeToLive RecordData
@ NS 0 1:00:00 Nameserver1.contoso.com
@ NS 0 1:00:00 Nameserver2.contoso.com
However, replacing the business line (in green above after foreach) with the remove command (in red below)
does not work to delete the specific record listed in the .csv, even though it follows the
pattern from MS TechNet:
Remove-DnsServerResourceRecord -ZoneName $_.zoneName -RRType "Ns" -name $_.hostname -computerName
$PDCE
Error:
PS C:\Windows\system32> C:\Temp\OldNSCleanup.ps1
Remove-DnsServerResourceRecord : Failed to get nameserver1.contoso.com. record in
1.112.170.in-addr.arpa zone on PDCE server.
At C:\Temp\OldNSCleanup.ps1:4 char:1
+ Remove-DnsServerResourceRecord -ZoneName $_.zoneName -RRType "Ns" -name $_.name ...

+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (PDCE:root/Microsoft/...rResourceRecord) [Remove-
DnsServerResourceRecord], CimException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : WIN32 9714,Remove-DnsServerResourceRecord
When I remove the use of the .csv and put the names of the zone and server in the command, I get the same results.
Fail.
It's as if the record does not exist, but I can browse to it in the GUI. I found
this about Missing Glue records, but it does not seem to apply to reverse lookup NS records. I'm thinking that I need to first load each zone into an assembly and then do the removal,
but I'm not sure how to do that in PowerShell. I tried piping the get command for the zone to the remove command, but that did not work or I did not have the correct syntax.
I have attempted to use DNSCMD to do the same and that command appears to work, but then fails to actually remove
the record.
Here is an example of that command:
import-csv C:\Temp\OldNSrecords-test.csv | foreach {dnscmd.exe "DNSServer.contoso.com" /Recorddelete $_.ZoneName
$_.hostname $_.recordType /f}
Output:
Deleted Ns record(s) at 1.112.170.in-addr.arpa
Command completed successfully. [But not really, the NS record is still there]
I have researched several sites including the suggest one here, but this does not fit my requirement.

Notice that each is a pair.

. 3600000 NS G.ROOT-SERVERS.NET.
G.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. 3600000 A 192.112.36.4
In this case the dot represents the self reference to the A record. These are the records that bootstrap all of the Internet. Remove them and you ae lost.
The CSV uses the @ to anchor the local domain. Perhaps the DNS CmdLets prefer the dot. The @ is what appears on the screen when we use the GUI. Note the dot at the end of the FQDN. It is required. Even browser use
it but they add it if you forget.

Licensing/Download/Serial Issues??

Anyone else purchase CS5.5 recently to get the free upgrade to CS6 and run into a bunch of issues? Nothing showing up in the licensing site (which is now down for "scheduled" maintenance), no order number, online chat support stating that it's a 72-hour wait to get your downloads/serial numbers, 2-hour hold for licensing support line....
And of course the weekend is upon us so I'll likely have to wait until next week to (hopefully) access the software I purchased. Kind of ridiculous. Buy an online product somewhere else and you get access as soon as you make the payment. Spend $2000 on Adobe products and get the runaround about what's going on with the order, why the delay, shoddy support/web services, etc.
Ugh. Am I the only one? Has annyone else made a purchase in the last couple of days without a hitch?

Welcome to our community
I think you are misunderstanding the purpose of this forum. You likely believe it's for discussing any old licensing or install issue with any Adobe product. Unfortunately, it's a forum where we discuss installation and licensing issues that are specific to only one of Adobe's 100+ products. Adobe Captivate.

I no longer have access to system folders that allow me to remove old or incorrect PAGES templates. Need to find out how to do that. The only way I can do it now is to blank the template and replace the bad template with a blank.

I no longer have access to system folders that allow me to remove old or incorrect PAGES templates. Need to find out how to do that. The only way I can do it now is to blank the template and replace the unwanted template with a blank. It was previously possible to go to MY TEMPLATES and remove the unwanted templates. I don't if this issue is before or since installation of 10.8 (a nightmare in my case, which led to significant failure issues). And because I haven't tried to remove templates since finally managing to install 10.8 (now at 10.8.4), I don't know if this is typical of the newer OS or a problem. I've been a Mac user for more than 25 years, but I think I'm nearing the end of the road. By the way, I've never needed to do this before because the manuals always offered an answer... they don't seem to do that anymore. In any case, I don't know how this works... I'd prefer an email reply if that's possible. But that would probably be too easy, and I don't know how to get a reply.

Thanks, I appreciate the help. I think this is one of the problems Apple is creating by changing the OS so often. I had fomer colleagues at [a major aerospace contractor] who told me that so many original files were ultimately lost because of the deadly change in the "Save As" operation that they are now afraid of every OS update. Apple has badly damaged their support base with that very prominent company (they won't update now until they've fully examined and understand changes in the pre-conditioned nature of OS computer functions), and they are a whole lot less enthaled with Mac-related equipment/software. Can't blame them, I too used orginal files that way (as easy-to-use templates), and lost some important files before I realized what was happening (to late to revert). Companies should not have to retrain employees each time an OS gets an update, it's can be very expensive several different ways. They learned a painful lesson with that one. And because I'm now retired and don't use multiple devices, I need iCloud like I need a hole in the head... but I'm told there's no way to keep Apple out of my computer. Fortunately, because of major problems when initially installing Mountain Lion, one hold-over of the hardware/software damage I experienced was that iCloud can no longer access my computer even though everything else is working fine again. That was the only "good luck" I had as a result of that expensive nightmare.

Problem removing old versions with customization wizard 8

I'm trying to deploy Acrobat Reader 8 to our XP Professional desktops via Active Directory software installation (Windows Server 2003 domain)
I have obtained the MSI release of Reader 8, customised it using Adobe Customization Wizard 8, and deployed it through AD as per the Adobe documentation. This works as expected for new machines without a previous release of Reader installed.
However for desktops that have Reader 6 or 7 installed, we end up with two versions installed side by side (visible in Add/Remove Programs). Reader 8 works fine at this point. Removing the older version causes the PDF file association that Reader 8 created to be broken, also the Internet Explorer browser plugin is broken. Reader 8 has to be reinstalled manually to fix this issue.
I have read that Reader automatically removes old versions of itself when you install a new version. Additionally, when customising the MSI, "Remove previous version of Reader" is greyed out. However it appears that the installer is not removing old versions.
Any ideas as to a solution?
Thanks a lot
Tom Fanning

I have the same problem and i have wasted like 50 hours on this s**t. I'm trying to deploy reader 8 on our 1800 XP workstations with SMS 2003.
The cutomization tool is totally useless. The only way i have came up with is to create a script wich checks if earlier versions of Adobe reader is installed by looking if the installation folders exists (for example c:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 7.0\Reader ).
If the installation folders exists, the script would run the uninstallatoin string of the reader using its Windows installer product code, like this:
MsiExec.exe /x /qn {AC76BA86-7AD7-1035-7B44-A70000000000}
Now, the problem with the script is that we have several versions of reader 6 and 7 including 3 different languages. The script or the .BAT file would be quite complicated and the testing is allmost impossible.
I think that it would be much more easier to create a script that deletes all the shotcuts for Adobe reader and then installs a Freeware product for openig PDF files.

In my opinion, adobe products are a nightmare for IT admins and their support system is even worse than Microsofts.

I'm also having this problem. I'm using Flash Builder 4.6, AIR 3.4 and I've made a DLL (e.g. ExtensionDll.dll) which needs to call functions in another DLL (e.g. DllUsedByExtensionDll.dll) . I've made sure my ANE is working with the ExtensionDll.dll already, so there are no issues with my actionscript code or my ANE packaging or my DLL compilation. However, once I start calling functions from the other DLL, it starts throwing me Error #3500. Even if I call this function (e.g. abc()) in ExtensionDll.dll, but I never actually use the function from actionscript, and I call another function (e.g. def()) from actionscript, the Error #3500 still appears, so it does not seem to depened on the whether the code is used or not.
It's similar to this problem.

Old License prevents free navigation

Hello, I have a N97 and I downloaded a trial of the navigation shortly after I purchased by phone which expired. The maps application has since become free and I have downloaed the latest version and upgraded all the firmware.
Whenever I try and use the navigation features on the new maps application I get a message saying that my license has expired and I am directed to purchase a new license.
Can you please tell me how I remove this license and start using the maps for free?
Many Thanks

Just to clarify, and hopefully not repeat, the best method is to go into settings-applications-installed apps, and delete all map programmes (Nokia and Ovi), then install Ovi maps 3.03 for N97 from software updater on phone OTA , or download mini version using web browser from Noki website (it works fine ) then use Nokia Maps Updater to remove old maps and download and install the maps for your region on your computer via usb. I did this and Free Navigation is working great !!
Good Look

How do I remove the license from a broken machine (HDD crashed) to use it on a new machine?

How do I remove the license for PSE from a broken machine (HDD crashed) to use it on a new machine?

You cannot remove the license from a broken machine.
Install and activate the software on new machine. Adobe provide the license to use the software on 2 computers, if you exceed then you are prompted with message wherein you can de-activate/remove the license from old machines.

HT203756 How can I remove 'old' or 'incomplete' backups from iCloud?

How can I remove 'old' or 'incomplete' backups from iCloud?
When I attempted, the iPhone 6+ message asked if I wanted to remove ALL of the backups... without giving me the option of selecting the specific one I wanted to remove.
I had performed 'backups' of my old iPhone, but, when I tried to RESTORE to the REPLACEMENT iPhone, at least one of the iCloud backups shows 'incomplete'. There was no 'error' on the original iPhone...when it 'failed' to complete the backup.
Now, I would like to 'clear up' the 'storage' on the iCloud, but am unable to select specific ones. I can either keep all instances or shut off iCloud Backup which would, according to the message, remove/delete ALL of the BACKUPS.
This shouldn't be this difficult.....

I too wondered how you remove apps from iCloud. Judging by the quantity of questions, comments, suggestions and replies (some rather rude) there is a clear need for Apple to make their literature a lot clearer. The page describing what iCloud backs up refers to "app data" as an item which is backed up. To the uniniated this might mean the app program but it seems not. The app is "bought" via iTunes or the App Store and details of your purchase (free or otherwise) is held there separately on the server.
It would be nice however to be able to remove the reference to junk I have downloaded and decided I don't want so that it doesn't appear on the purchased apps listing! Apple please note this.
It must be remembered that Apple products come pitifully supported by manuals "out of the box" on the assumption that it is so easy to use the product that no explanation is needed. They forget that most buyers of Apple products (me included) don't know (and don't want to know) how they work, so when something is not obvious they are required to plough through Lord knows how many web pages of "knowledge base" material until they find an answer.
All I can add is that it is worth spending time reading the multiitude of discussion threads before asking the question yet again...
