title: How to Remove a Ghost Server in Web Farm After Migrating a Reporting Services Installation?
body: <p>Just followed the steps in <a href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143724.aspx" rel="nofollow">https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143724.aspx</a> to migrate a Reporting Services installation onto a new server (from and to SQL 2012 Standard Edition)
  But when I'm ready to verify my deployment using the Report Manager web interface I get the error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>The feature: "Scale-out deployment" is not supported in this edition of Reporting Services. (rsOperationNotSupported)</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Indeed when I go back to the Reporting Services Configuration manager, under Scale-out Deployment I have 2 servers, the one on the local server (new machine) and a reference to the old Server that has a different name. Problem is when I try to remove it tells me the task has failed:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Microsoft.ReportingServices.WmiProvider.WMIProviderException: Unable to connect to the Report Server . ---> System.Runtime.InteropServices.COMException (0x800706BA): The RPC server is unavailable</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I can understand why it's unavailable as it is on a different network all together. so my question is, how can I get rid of it so everything can finally work?</p>
