Rules for Deleting Server Groups

It’s important to note the distinction between removing servers from a group, deleting a server, and deleting a group.

Removing servers from a group only removes the server from the selected static group, but the server itself remains in the global list of servers and is still managed by SA.s

Deleting a server can only be performed on a server whose status is deactivated. Selecting the Delete Server option completely removes the server from within SA, although its history remains.

Deleting a server group removes the group, but the servers in the group still remain in the list of servers and in any other groups for which they are members.

A group cannot be deleted when any of the following conditions apply:

• Software is attached to the group or a subgroup of the group.
• Access control boundaries are attached to the groups or a subgroup of the group.
• Servers and groups are selected together for deletion.

Deleting a Server Group

To delete a server group, perform the following steps:

1. Click the check box next to the server group you want to delete.
2. From the Edit menu, choose Delete Group. A confirmation message appears, detailing the number of servers and server groups in the server group that you want to delete.
3. Click OK to complete the deletion of the server group.
   
   The screen refreshes, showing the list of servers and groups without the deleted server group.
