SYMPTOMS
When you are on a member server and you uninstall a Software Metering Server computer, the SWMAccount is not removed from the local account database as expected.



WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, when you remove a site system role from a server, be sure to manually remove the user accounts that were created on the server. Always review the local account database on that server after the role has been successfully removed.

If the site system being removed is on a domain controller, use caution when you remove the remaining user accounts. If another server hosting a site system role (in this case, software metering) is configured to use the domain account in question, that site system role will cease to function when the account is removed from the domain.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Systems Management Server version 2.0.
