Are the nodes actually unmanaged or only the interfaces?
It does not sound to me like the actual device is unmanaged.
You can run "ovobjprint -s <hostname>" to see the IP Status
of the device...
OK, what am I missing?

How many contexts for un-managed node does NV have? I assume that
`Normal(2)' above indicates that the node itself remains managed? Where
is an exhaustive list of values that IP Status can have?
Here's the rub: My client has a new NV installation; and they have a
very large network. Currently, we have 21,000 nodes; but, this weekend,
it will double. There is no documentation about these networks; and
very little standardization. Most of these nodes are PC's; and we have
no mandate to manage them. I have not yet found seed file entries to
avoid these PC's; so I need to automate un-managing them.
Yes, James makes interesting points about using the GUI; but, I
challenge any of you to select 10,000 nodes and un-manage them via GUI

What do you think?
