Unfortunately I haven't been so lucky. After spending an inordinate amount of time trying to clean everything up I decided to bite the bullet and reinstall. I would admit that the un/reinstall process worked much smoother than anticipated however I'm still faced with a similar, but slightly different, issue. Now both the host *and* agent are missing. :)

The agent appears to start up and run as expected, however it never shows up within the OMS console. Both install and gcagent logs are clean and bi-directional communication has been verified. I've seen a little movement on the SR today, however no forward progress. I keep getting told to click on the (non existent) agent link within OEM and force a resync.

Is there any way we can flush the previous agent info from the database allowing the agent to perform the registration process? What sequence of events creates the agent/host/targets within OEM? Documentation states that the host and agent are created when the first upload happens on a new agent. My expectation is that there is some cruft hanging around inside the repository from the old agent causing this process to not fire.

It was most definitely the easiest path because finding out how to clean up went nowhere. The point of the SR, and also the MOS forum quer, on my part, was to see if there was a way to clean up the mess. I never did get there. I did have an interesting exchange here:
