Remove unused server names from GUI login

Question

Hello All, Just had a quick question. Wanted to know how to remove names from the GUI login module? I'm sure they're in a cache somewhere. (See picture for example) The sever names marked out are no longer active servers, so I would like to remove them from the list. These are AVEs that have been decommissioned. Cleaning up the list would be great, but if I have to overlook them, then I guess that's what will have to happen. Thanks, Reggie

Reggie,Removing hostnames/IPs from the Avamar Administrator login screen used to be feature.&#xa0; It may have been omitted when the GUI received an overhaul some time back.The Avamar hostnames/IPs are stored in the following registry entryComputer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JavaSoft\Prefs\/E\/M\/C\/AvamarVERSION/Login/Dialog.xmlThe login_server_name_x object is used to populate the list of Avamar serversSince the GUI feature has been removed there's no 'supported' method of deleting the hostname/IP although I did test the following with no ill effects.I deleted the keyI heroically ignored the following warningOn relaunching the Avamar Administrator, the entry had been removed from the list of serversI'm not recommending you make changes to your Windows registry, merely reporting what I observed.. hope you find it interesting.-Nick

Nicholas,Thanks. This was the fix I was looking for. Fixed the problem. Definitely great to know when typos are sometimes common and people get confused on what the correct spelling is. I had 2 shortcuts, 1 for 7.3.0-226 & 1 for 7.3.0-233 and it fixed them both. Thanks again.

Hi Reggie - glad that helped.  I've also made a request to Engineering that the original feature be re-added to the GUI.  All the best, Nick
