Deleting a single host

Hosts can be deleted individually either by choosing "Delete" either from the right-click menu or the ribbon. When deleting a single host, the management console will issue prompt confirming whether the agent should be installed from the remote host (when deleting hosts from a group containing agents) or whether the host should just be removed from the management console.

Note that an agent can always be removed manually from a monitored host through the control panel, simply uninstall the "EventSentry Agent" application. Hosts cannot be removed from groups which are linked to Active Directory.

 

Deleting multiple hosts

1.Ensure "Use Checkboxes" is enabled.

2.Select a group from which to delete multiple computers from.

3.Select "Check Status" either from the ribbon or by right-clicking the group.
