Recently I had an issue where our Licensing server was throwing the following warning/errors and it turns out it was an issue with SCOM 2007 R2 agent installed with Citrix MP 5.0 on the licensing server.

The version of licensing server that was running was 11.6 and once we removed the SCOM agent and restarted the the License server all of these error stopped.

How to delete a PVS

From any PVS server in the farm, browse to the C:\Program Files\Citrix\Provisioning Services Console directory via command prompt and run the following

mcli run markdown /p servername="name"

replace the "name" with the server that is no longer used, once you do this browse through the console, find the server, right click, delete.
