I switched my primary vCenter server from a Windows box to the Linux appliance. Everything got moved without issue, so then I ran the recommended cmsso-util unregister command pointed to the old server to be decommissioned, as mentioned here: https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=21067...
The old vCenter server was successfully removed from the list in vCenter Server Inventory, but when I go to Administration -> System Configuration -> Nodes, the old server is still listed as a node there. How can I remove it?
Also, when I go to Administration -> Users and Groups -> Users, when I look at the list of domains, I still see the old vCenter's Windows hostname listed there.
Thanks for any help.
try this instead:
cd c:\program Files\wmware\vcenter server\vmdird
or
cd /usr/lib/vmware-vmdir/bin/
vdcleavefed -h <node.name> -u <username@domain> -w <password>
I found username without the domain worked on some stubborn stains (but I have one still to nuke).
Anyone? That old entry is annoying to look at.
same problem here, my chi is not woo.
I also tried running cmsso-util unregister from the new vCenter pointing to the old IP, and it would not go away.

"Leave federation cleanup done"
Whoo! Finally gone! Thank you! And like you said, I had to not include the domain for the command to run successfully
