PowerProtect Data Manager 19.15 Microsoft SQL Server User Guide

Disable the Microsoft application agent

You can use the procedure in this topic to disable the Microsoft application agent.

1. Remove the assets from the protection policies:
   1. From the left navigation pane in the PowerProtect Data Manager UI, select Protection > Protection Policies.
      The Protection Policies window appears.
   2. Select the protection policy that you want to modify, and click Edit.
      The Edit Policy window opens on the Summary page.
   3. In the Assets row, click Edit.
      The Assets page appears.
   4. To remove the assets from the protection policy, select the assets and click Remove.
      The Assets page is updated with the changes.
2. Delete the Microsoft SQL Server host by deleting the asset source according to Delete an asset source. This procedure unregisters the host from PowerProtect Data Manager and removes the host assets after all the asset copies have expired.

   The assets and asset source of the original host are still in the "Deleted" state, unless the asset copies have expired and garbage collection has run.

   NOTE:If you unregister and reregister the Microsoft application agent instead of completing this deletion step, then duplicated asset names might appear in the PowerProtect Data Manager UI.
3. To delete the asset copies, follow the instructions in Delete backup copies.
