A trick I learned after having a couple of messy uninstalls of FR3 to FR2,
was to use the dsverify tool. Basically I had servers left in the IMA
datastore with multiple entries (one as FR3 and one as FR2). You can see
this using DSView utility off the Citrix CD. Then you can use DSverify to
clean out that particular server from IMA. I believe you can find a copy at
http://www.citrix4ge.de/. Hope that helps
Cheers!

Subject: [THIN] Can not remove server from farm
I have a server that crashed and burned a while ago.
No problem, I think to myself, remove it from the
farm, reimage and have it back online in under an
hour.
Except there is one problem, I can not remove it from
the farm.
Obviously, uninstalling Metaframe is not an option
anymore. When I got to the CMC to manually remove it
from the farm, I get the following error:
Management Console Error
The Management Console for MetaFrame XP failed to
remove the server.
Error Code:80000007
Still thinking this is no big deal, I head on over to
http://support.citrix.com/kb/entry.jspa?entryID=1765
where I learn that all I need to do is maeke an entry
in a host file to resolve the server's name. I add
the entry, and I still am faced with the same error
message.
On a whim, I tried reimaging a server and giving it
the same name as the downed server. Unfortunately,
the ICA would never start. Presumable because a
server with that name already exists.
Has anyone else experienced this before? Am I doomed
to have a bum entry in my farm for all of eternity?
Thanks in advance.
