To remove an AlwaysOn node from SQL Compliance Manager, first stop the agent service using the Failover Cluster Manager before attempting to remove a node instance from SQL Compliance Manager. This step must be performed if you may want to add back to SQL Compliance Manager the removed node using the Manual Deployment option without any agent deployment. In this case, ignore the error message that appears after you remove the node.
