We are running a Windows Server 2012 cluster and I see the following error in the System folder of Event Viewer.
"DCOM was unable to communicate with the computer SQL9 using any of the configured protocols; requested by PID 46a8 (C:\Windows\system32\ServerManager.exe)."
SQL9 was in the cluster at one point, but it had hardware issues so it was removed from the cluster in the cluster admin. Because it had bad hardware, SQL9 was taken off the network and salvaged for parts.
I have searched the registry for any reference to SQL9 and did not find anything. I have searched the C: drive of all servers in the cluster and not found anything.
I would like to eliminate this error, does anyone know how to?
