Add Former Server

This topic explains how to add a server that was previously removed from the enterprise (e.g., because the server was offline for an extended period).
(Note: When a user attempts to rejoin a previous subordinate server, if that server is still not disconnected from its previous POA, then the system will produce a red-toast message stating that the server must first leave its existing POA and to restart the process.)
In TTK at the parent of the subordinate server, click the menu and select Add Former Server to [parent server].

Next, in the Choose Archived Server dropdown, select the server that was removed. Enter the username and password to use to connect to the server. Click the arrow button to continue.
