Hi SuperBrain,

It has been sometime since this thread was added to, but as it was the only one that relates to my delema and I am hoping you can assist me!

We are currently running Backup Exec 2012 V14.0 Rev. 1798, and my question relates to Server Groups.

Backup Exec 2012 seems to poll our network and source every server on the network and place them in All Servers Group.  When I remove the unwanted servers they reappear after a period.  After some investigation it appears Backup Exec is continually polling our network and re-establishing them in the list.

Therefore how do I:

  • Stop Backup Exec contiually polling our network, and
  • How do I permenantly remove servers from the All Server Group

Thank you.
