remove and re-add a MP

[mqh7]

If you remove and re-add the Management Point Role does that break anything in your environmment? We have 1 MP that does not work. It starts and stops and then will not restart. If I remove and re-add the role is it as simpple as that? or do I need to remove every package from that DP first?

 

Our MP has this in error in the logs.

So something is going on. We found this out because we can't do any package deployments on this site. In fact clients don't even get the adverts. so once we began to dig we ended up at this error.

 

Any help/hints would be great.

you can remove it, wait and then re-add it no problem, no need to do anything with your packages.
