How to remove a registered Server ?

We have removed an old SQL Server from our network.
However in Enterprise Manager, the Server is still
listed. The status is "SQL Serve does not exist".
We would like to know how can we remove it from the list.
This is because when we attempt to select it and click the
right hand button of the mouse, there is no response in
Enterprise Manager.
Thank you for your help.
To remove a registered server running SQL Server:
1.Expand a server group, and then right-click a server.
2.Click Delete SQL Server Registration.
3.Confirm the deletion.
You might have to wait a while to get a response (context window to
open), if u have a slow/overloaded PC and/or network
|||Another alternative could also be to delete the registry entry for that
specific server. If you go to
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Microsoft SQL
Server\80\Tools\SQLEW\Registered Servers X , you can finde your server and
delete the key.
I often find that when the server isn't available, it takes quite some time
before you get the "Delete" option when you right-click on the server in EM.
I agree with naz that it's the best way to delete it, but the registry key
deletion will also do the trick.
