Paul, as James Shanks said there is no command line method to unmanage
nodes. However you can exercise some control over what is discovered
"unmanaged" if they are non-SNMP devices or if they are SNMP devices with
specific OIDs. This control is achieved by editing the
/usr/OV/conf/oid_to_type file and adding the "U" flag as appropriate. Read
the comments in this file for more info. (I'm assuming its the same for NT
as for Unix?)

Hope this helps. Let us know if any questions.
