yeh i had this when a customer removed a 3300, then were complaining of SDS errors all the time.
Ended up talking to Mitel and straight away they wanted to log in to remove it, running debug comands etc etc while removing it from ESM. I hate not being able to do things myself 
At least with MCD 6 it will make it alot easier

Agreed, anything short of MCD 6 required Mitel product support to go in and do it. MCD 6 has two new commands to aid in removing cluster elements.
