• Jan 25, 2018 The Uninstall button doesn't go away, it remains greyed out, and the tech can neither uninstall nor reinstall from SCCM/Software Center as a result. What the heck gives???
• Because I know there is a bug in the GUI that if you change tab to the 'Installed Software' tab, the first selected item will have the button greyed out. If you have two softwares, just click on the second and then click back on the first and suddenly the uninstall button is available. Level 2 1 point 4 years ago.
• If I refresh Software Center the Uninstall button is greyed out of that app. If I change the focus to another package in Software Center and then click on the first app again the Uninstall button comes back. I will put in a case with Microsoft to see if this is a bug with Software Center.

Unable to remove the Component Server Site System Role

Edge Uninstall Grayed Out

Problem

As I am new to SCCM, I have been testing out different parts of it and I came across an issue where I was trying to remove a DP (Distribution Point) from a server. I loaded the console and went to Administration / Overview / Site Configuration / Servers and Site System Roles

From there I right clicked on the server that had the DP I wanted to remove and selected Delete from the menu.

Software is installed without any issues. However, the uninstall button is greyed out. When removing one of the deployment types, the Uninstall button is not greyed out. The uninstall program is correct as it works when working only with one deployment type. Software Center shows a notification with a snooze option and the time remaining before it forces the devices to restart. The message may be different depending on your version of Configuration Manager. Software Center final countdown notification. Software Center shows this final countdown notification that the user can't close or snooze.

Once I clicked delete I was presented with a Delete Server dialog box stating…

The server “myservername” cannot be deleted because it contains the following site system roles: Component server

The component server role supports other site system roles and is created automatically by Configuration Manager. Although there might be a delay, this role is automatically removed after you remove other site system roles on this server.

I tried right clicking on the Component server role under Site System Roles but the Remove Role option was grayed out so I couldn’t remove the Component Server Site System Role.

Solution

Sccm Software Center Uninstall Grayed Out

From what I have read, the Component Server role only gets installed on a server when a Site System role is installed with the exception of a DP. In my testing I don’t remember installing a role other than a Distribution Point on this machine so it shouldn’t have had the Component server role installed. I guess that I must have installed another role other than the Distribution Point and removed it but the Component server role didn’t get removed.

The way I found to fix this is listed below.

Why Is Uninstall Greyed Out

• Go to Administration / Site Configuration / Servers and Site System Roles / Click on your server to highlight it / Right click Site system under Site system Roles and select Properties from the menu.
• You will need to make a change to one of the settings on the Site system properties screen. Since your choices are limited I would suggest that you check the Require the site server to initiate connections to this site system then click OK.
• Wait 10 – 20 minutes. Yeah SCCM is slow about doing some things.
• Right click your server and choose refresh. Hopefully now the Component server role should no longer show up.
• You can now delete the server DP role.
