If you find yourself in a position whereby you have a failed or deleted virtual/physical server, your DPM server will report the agent as being "Unavailable". Once in this state you will be unable to uninstall the agent as DPM will attempt to talk to the server in question to remove it gracefully from its database.
In order to get around this open the DPM Management Shell and run the following command:
Remove-ProductionServer.ps1
Once prompted enter the name of your DPM sever, e.g. DPMServer.contoso.com
On the next prompt enter the FQDN of the failed server, e.g. FileServer1.contoso.com
You should now receive the following confirmation that your server has been removed from DPM database
Removed ProductionServer successfully
Open the management tab from within the DPM Administrator Console and you should see that the failed server has been removed from your agents list.
