I would really like to be able to manipulate agents.
1) Provide a remote uninstaller from the console - tell the agent to go away transparently.
2) Redirect hosts to other agents.  This is important.  I just had to recreate a bunch of customer router and switch devices, because the old agent box died and we needed to create a new agent.  I lost all of the provious history of my routers and switches.  Very painful loss.
3) Change an agent's name and IP Address from an applet on the agent machine.

Hi Jamison.
To answer your questions:

1. When you delete an agent from the studio, it will send a request back to that device to uninstall the agent. Is this not happening?
2. Redirecting agents at the moment is on the roadmap for a future release.
3. Currently, you can modify the agent settings in the registry where the agent is installed on. But NOTE: This is NOT recommended, and only used when absolutely necessary! I will submit this as an enhancement request.

Thanks for all of your feedback Jamison.

Thanks, Mario.  I did not realize the agent would uninstall after a console delete.  Good to know.

I too think there should be 'something saying' or a notification when deleting items with an agent that the agent will be uninstalled.

Thank you for your feedback! I will pass this over to the team, and see if we can integrate that into a future build.
